Ladies, I know you are all wondering if this amazing man has a single brother and I’m sorry to inform you there are none. Alas, he only has a sister. And well, she’s taken too, lol.

Made this for dinner. Yummy!
So glad you liked it Jennifer! You have to try the Bourbon-less Chicken. If we had to choose between these 2 recipes, the Bourbon-less Chicken wins hands down 🙂 You can find this recipe on my blog under the “recipes” tab or by typing it in the search bar on my blog…but heck, I’ll just post the link for you 🙂 https://craftycreativekathy.wordpress.com/?s=bourbon Thanks for stopping by! ~ Kathy
We have an electric wok, do you think that the chicken could be cooked in that instead of sautéing it in oil in a pan?
Absolutely! A wok probably would be more ideal. I’m quite jealous! I had an electric wok and I believe my husband sold it in a yard sale (he thinks I have too many kitchen gadgets, lol)! I miss that electric wok so much!
I saw a photo of the Mongolian chicken on pinterest today, and made it for dinner tonight. So GOOD!! I changed it just a little bit. I didn’t use as much oil, and I doubled the garlic and ginger, plus added some peppers for heat. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I browsed your blog for a few minutes while dinner was cooking. Love the story of your youngest son in preschool. He is adorable! Great treat alternative!
Thank you Misty! I’ll be honest, the Mongolian Chicken has brought a lot of traffic to my blog but our family really prefers the Bourbon-less Chicken over the Mongolian, lol. We enjoy the Mongolian but really LOVE the Bourbon-less Chicken 🙂 Glad you made the dish yours, that’s the beauty of every recipe. You can tweak it to your family’s liking! Have a great day!
I made this for dinner two nights ago and my husband and children cleared their plates and asked for seconds. The hubby even said this was one of the best things I had ever made! Thanks for the recipe!
Wow, so glad you guys liked it! Be sure to also try the Bourbon-less Chicken, that is actually our family’s favorite 🙂 We love the Mongolian Chicken but really LOVE the Bourbon-less chicken!
hmmm wondering which veggie to add, broccoli and carrots?
LOL…I am the last person to ask anything about vegetables, bwahahaha! Good luck! 🙂
I added green beans.
Yep, this recipe allows for the addition of veggies for sure!
Just made this and it was so good. My family really enjoyed it!
Glad you liked it! It’s a family favorite of ours! Have a great night!
Omg…. that’s all I can say…. this dish was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Even my elderly parents who eat nothing but plain chicken all the time, and my father who is repulsed at the thought of having to put another piece of chicken in his mouth, thought this was fantastic! There wasn’t even a bite left for seconds so last night so it was requested that I make another batch tonight!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad your family enjoyed the recipe! That just made my day! 🙂
Just made this. Def a keeper!! I will be trying the bourbon-less chicken next time but this was amazing! It will be hard to beat!
Glad you liked it! We like the Mongolian Chicken but honestly prefer the Bourbon-less Chicken more. Both good but for us, the Bourbon-less Chicken was a homerun! Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed week!
Magnificent dish! I added a little cayenne, red pepper flakes and whole string beans. It was soooo delicious. Thanks so much for sharing.
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Omg! Made this for dinner and it tasted just like Chinese takeout. I made a few changes. I used chunks of boneless chicken thighs, and I used fresh ginger and fresh garlic.
Try the bourbon chicken too! That actually is our favorite! And I’m sure that thighs (makes it juicier) along with fresh spices elevated this dish! Thanks for sharing!
i dont have ginger will it make a big diference if i omit it??
I’m not sure? It’s a little amount but sometimes a spice makes all the difference. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out! 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! This was AWESOME! I’m thinking of a million variations I could do with this: add pineapples, or cashews, or orange/yellow bell peppers, etc. Highly recommend!
Yummy ideas! Let us know how they turn out!
How does this come out using beef (sirloin)?
Curious on thoughts. Thanks
Hmmm, haven’t tried with beef! Share your thoughts if you do! 🙂
