Sweet & Spicy Chicken

• 1 -2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and chopped into large chunks
• 6 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (I like carrots, broccoli and water chestnuts)
• The Sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 tsp minced jarred garlic)
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon beef base (or beef bouillon granules)
• 1/8 cup cider vinegar, plus
• 2 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dark molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Place all sauce ingredients in a large chefs pan or anything large with a lid.
2. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly bubbly and combined.
3. Add chicken and vegetables, if desired, Stir to coat.
4. Cook on medium/high heat, covered, for 20-30 minutes (stirring every 10 minutes, more if its a pan that sticks) or until desired thickness is achieved and chicken (and veggies) are heated through.
5. I like it served over rice.
