BOURBON CHICKEN



Bourbon Chicken image

A favorite named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana and for the bourbon whiskey ingredient; although this dish, sold as Cajun-style cuisine in malls all over America, is reported to be nothing of the kind (not genuine Creole or Cajun fare)! Note: If you double the recipe, make sure that the chicken is still in a single layer. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

PECAN CHICKEN WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Pecan Chicken With Bourbon Sauce image

This is a restaurant recipe that I modified slightly. The bourbon sauce is wonderful, either pooled beneath the chicken and/or drizzled over the top. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. You can save some of the extra sauce for use later or drizzle the sauce over your veggies! Great pecan taste and crunch. Make sure you adjust your heat, while cooking the chicken, so the pecan coating does not burn. Don't skip the green onion to sprinkle over the finished product, it is part of the whole taste sensation! This recipe works for a weekly night dinner or even for company. Enjoy!

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped (make sure the pieces are small)
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (make sure you use dark)
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey

1/2 cup sliced green onion

Steps:

  • Mix together the pecans and bread crumbs, on a plate.
  • Beat the eggs and water in a pie plate.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to thin them. This helps so you won't have to cook the coated chicken breasts too long. You want to avoid burning the pecan coating.
  • Heat the 2 T. butter and 1 T. olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Dip the chicken breasts, both sides, into the eggs.
  • Press the chicken breasts, both sides, into the pecan and bread crumb mixture, coating them evenly.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat (adjust as needed) until nicely browned and cooked through. Depending on the thickness and size of your chicken breasts, it could be anywhere from 5 to 10 minute per side.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the dijon mustard, dark brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the burner and whisk in the 3/4 cups of unsalted butter, a few pieces at a time. Do not return to the heat.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving platter and pour some of the sauce over. Sprinkle with green onions. Or you can plate them individually.
  • You may choose to pool the sauce or drizzle or serve the sauce on the side. The choice is yours!

BOURBON-PECAN CHICKEN



Bourbon-Pecan Chicken image

This is a 1990 recipe from Regina Schrambling that was appended to an article about the role alcohol can play in a home cook's kitchen. It's terrific.

Provided by Regina Schrambling

Categories     dinner, weekday, sauces and gravies, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken, about 3 pounds
1/2 cup bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
2 to 3 pinches cayenne (optional)
3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup whole pecan halves
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into six serving pieces. Rinse and pat them dry, then lay them into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish in a single layer.
  • In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the bourbon, thyme, cayenne, shallots and oil, then add about a half teaspoon of salt and generous grinds of fresh pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Let stand at room temperature for two hours.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the chicken for 35 to 45 minutes, until it's cooked to your taste. It will not be really brown. Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand a few minutes to cool slightly.
  • Drain the cooking juices into a small saucepan. Add the pecans (what they lose in crispness, they'll make up in flavor) and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Whisk in the heavy cream and continue cooking over high heat until the sauce is thickened.
  • To serve, arrange the chicken on a platter or individual serving plates and spoon the sauce over.

PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS WITH BOURBON DIPPING SAUCE



Pecan Chicken Strips With Bourbon Dipping Sauce image

I had this appetizer at a potluck last evening and thought they were great. Recipe is courtesy of the hostess, Diane. I think it will be easier to use the chicken tenderloins (tenders) from the grocery to make these and make a pretty presentation.

  • For Chicken:.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl.

  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • To make sure the chicken is evenly coated in flour, place the chicken and flour in a large resealable bag and shake until the chicken is coated. Place the chicken in a large shallow dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken and turn to coat.
  • If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey or brandy.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
