Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms in Bourbon Jelly

in , , , on Monday, April 2, 2012






Sometimes you just need a little bourbon!  

We were near Louisville, KY, in bourbon country, a while back and I saw a jar of bourbon jelly on the sideboard at the bed and breakfast where we were staying.  I enquired about it and was told how delicious it is on biscuits, pancakes, etc. so of course; I bought a jar of it.  He was right, it is!

Last night while I was sautéing chicken breasts, I looked in the refrigerator for something to complement the chicken and saw the bourbon jelly sitting there.  So, I grabbed it and the bottle of Nellie & Joe’s Lime Juice.  (If you’ve never used it, it’s the best!)  Then mushrooms were added, a little garlic powder, salt and pepper and dinner was about ready.

Since the jelly was a little sweet, I counteracted this with the lime juice.  They blended great together and along with the tomato salad, dinner was a delicious thing!

Now, I hear that there is Cherry Bourbon Jelly….
