Sweet & Spicy Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Place all sauce ingredients in a large chefs pan or anything large with a lid.
Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly bubbly and combined.
Add chicken and vegetables, if desired, Stir to coat.
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.
I like it served over rice.
