When I say “bourbon” at home, ears perk up. And when it has to do with a weeknight dinner, interest in that meal goes from a five to a ten with that one word. The smoky, savory flavor from a favorite happy hour drink has found its way to our traditional Tuesday chicken dinners. Smoky Baked Beans go well with the rough-and-tumble flavor of this chicken dish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the chicken, and pour the bourbon-maple mixture on top. Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, until the chicken is done. Serve.
