Gotta love that alcohol! Just had some bourbon sitting around from the wild party I had the other night, you know how I do...
Okay no I didnt, I don't even drink. The bourbon is actually sitting around from Thanksgiving.
I was sitting around, trying to figure out a use for it, because no one in the house is going to drink it. We had some chicken strips chillin' in the freezer downstairs... so, why not bourbon chicken?! And let me tell you, this recipe was SO GOOD. And with that, I just made some herb roasted potatoes... because those suckers go with anything you want to make for dinner. You just cannot go wrong with herb roasted potatoes.
Now, the chicken recipe called for boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded thin. But, I just use what chicken I had which was boneless skinless chicken tenders... and they turned out perfectly fine. I just had to saute them for a little longer than the recipe says.
As for the potatoes, I did everything according to recipe, except I used Russet potatoes, and also when they came out of the oven, they looked a little dry to me. So I took a couple tablespoons of butter, melted it in a bowl, then just lightly brushed it over the potatoes. Definitely helped a lot, and made them even better.
Now stop blabbing, Jessy. Get to the recipes!
