Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank's Red Hot)
1 tablespoon whiskey or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
6 cups romaine lettuce
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1 cup bell pepper, any color, diced
1 cup carrot, shredded
2 cups cherry tomatoes
4 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
2 cups croutons, seasoned (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix hot pepper sauce, bourbon (or whiskey or lemon juice) and salt in a 1-gallon zippered freezer bag and shake to mix it up. Rinse chicken if desired and pat completely dry with paper towels. Add chicken to bag and let rest in refrigerator for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to the highest setting.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, spray each piece lightly with fat-free cooking spray, and place on grill. Grill chicken about 8 to 12 minutes turning chicken halfway through. (You can do this inside using an indoor grill- cooking for about 5 minutes and not turning as it is a two sided grill.).
  • Arrange lettuce on plates and top with cucumbers, celery, bell pepper and carrot, leaving center free for chicken.
  • To serve, allow chicken to rest 2 to 3 minutes after coming off of grill to allow juices to settle. Cut each piece across the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips then lay equal amounts in center of each salad.
  • Sprinkle each salad with equal amounts of onions and croutons. Drizzle with your choice of salad dressing. We like Ranch but Blue Cheese is great as well.

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup Bourbon
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Tips:

  • Always marinate your chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, and spices not only infuses flavor into the meat but also tenderizes it, resulting in a juicy and flavorful grilled chicken.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The quality of the bourbon you use will greatly impact the flavor of the chicken. Choose a bourbon that is smooth and has a flavor profile that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can quickly become dry if overcooked. Cook the chicken over medium heat and use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled bourbon chicken pairs well with a variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:
