Bourbon Chicken
It's simple and as easy as pie! P-I-E. All you need is a rotesserie chicken from your local grocery store. Yes ma'am. Short cuts. Glorious short-cuts. De-li-cious shorts cuts. Somebody say it with me, "Shortcuts!" Next grab your:
Soy sauce (1/2 cup)
Honey (1/4 cup)
Powdered Ginger (1/2 tbsp)
Olive oil (2 tbsps)
And you are working it right now, like seriously. (You know when you go to the mall and they hand you that little piece of bourbon chicken on the end of the toothpick. Well, here it is! Just chopped up your chicken from the store and cover it in this sauce. But wait! I am getting ahead of myself.
Step 1: Chop up the roteserrie chicken from the store, keeping on the skin, and removing the bones.
Step 2: Make up your sauce (recipe above) and set it aside.
Step 3: Steam 1 1/2 cups of fresh chopped kale greens. Set aside.
Step 4: Peel, chop and boil 2 small or one medium sized sweet potato. Set aside.
Step 5: Sautee one cup of frozen bell pepper slices. Preferably, yellows, oranges, and reds or oranges, greens, and reds. (You get my point. Just keep it colorful & if it's already sliced and from the freezer section- like at Trader Joes- you're going to get a much better price then buying it fresh.)
Set aside.
Step 6: Make up your red quinoa. This is easy enough to find. Trader Joes will have it but also check your local grocery store. (Prepare, half a cup of quinoa, with one cup of water (or chicken stock). Set aside.
In a large bowl, toss your quinoa, sweet potatoes, red pepper blend (again, the red preferrably for color), your kale greens and your chicken. Make sure that your sauce is warm and then drizzle it over and toss again. Delish! Just like what you see in this photo:)
So what are you making this weekend? Anything special? Try this recipe and I am sure that you will make the tastebuds in your home, very, very, happy;)
Happy Cooking Everyone!
