Creamy Bourbon Chicken Recipe

Bourbon adds a Kentucky flavour to this delightful chicken dish. Bourbon is used for chicken soup because it is sauteed. Mushrooms and cream are added to the bottle, making a sauce with a rich complexity of flavor.

What you’ll need

6 boneless chicken breasts, skins removed 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Salt and pepper to taste 8 ounces sliced mushrooms 3 tablespoons butter (divided) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 green onions, chopped 1/3 cup bourbon (good quality) 1 cup heavy cream

How to make it

Preheat oven to 200 F or “warm” setting. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper; lightly dust with flour. Set aside. In a large, heavy saucepan over low heat, heat 2 tablespoons butter with olive oil. Add chicken pieces and shredded minced meat and salad, turning pieces frequently, until chicken is golden and tender, or about 15 to 20 minutes. If you are using boneless chicken, try to cook it skin side down first and cook it about 10 to 15 minutes longer than boneless chicken, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear through. While the chicken cooks, every few minutes start a few spoonfuls of bourbon baste, adding small amounts so that the chicken cooks to a liquidy consistency. When the chicken is cooked and golden, transfer to a warm baking sheet and keep in a warm oven or 200 F oven. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan (the bourbon should now have evaporated) along with another tablespoon of butter and the sala, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add the fatty cream to the mushrooms and shake the pan to loosen the browned sticks in the bottom of the pan. Heat until the sauce mixture is hot and begins to thicken. Season the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the sauce.
