Sometimes annoying nuisances can turn into happy little accidents, such is the case with this Chipotle Bourbon Chicken with Thai Rice Recipe. We eat a lot of chicken. It’s lean meat packed with protein, something we need to support our muscle growth in the gym. Last week we got home from the gym and Todd started up the grill. He marinated chicken breast in Honey Chipotle sauce for about 20 minutes and then popped it on the grill. It’s a standard chicken recipe we do on nights where we don’t feel like making something elaborate.
Unfortunately, we ran out of gas before the chicken was fully cooked. No worries, Todd finished it off in a skillet on the stove top. But being a foodie, of course he had to add a bit more flavor and spice it up a notch. He ended up adding a Sweet Bourbon sauce and some onions and… oh.my.deliciousness. It was moist and tender and so flavorful. I couldn’t wait to dig into my plate! We paired it with some Thai rice and added scallions, though I think some sliced peppers would work well too. When you eat as much chicken as we do, it’s always nice to find a new way to cook it.
