Melt down some butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add hot honey and about 1 teaspoon of ginger to the garlic and mix until melted together.

Add apple cider vinegar and smash seasoning to the sauce and set it aside.

Season the large chicken breast with brown sugar bourbon and smash seasoning, mixing well to coat every piece.

Heat a skillet with a little oil and a pat of butter until piping hot.

Add the seasoned chicken breast in a single layer to the skillet and do not move it.

Add the vegetables (pablano pepper, regular pepper, onions) over the chicken.

Cook the chicken without stirring until browned on one side, then mix in the veggies and cook for about 5 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, scraping up the brown bits from the pan to enhance the flavor.

Cook on medium to medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Serve the chicken and veggies over cooked white or jasmine rice.
