Bourbon Chicken

The Flying Chef's Note:

This is a really easy, yummy meal to make, it is a great one to do when you get in late from work and want a no fuss meal on the table in around 35-40 Min's. You can make this with just chicken if you prefer but I add in vegetables to make it a more complete meal for us.

Very nice simple dish to put together and delicious. I did a mix of broccoli and cauliflower florets and a 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (but will up that next time) and In making this again the only change I would make would be to cut the brown sugar back to 1/4 cup as the bourbon (Southern Comfort) is quite sweet in itself. The DH did suggest throwing in some sliced pineapple in place of the sugar and asked to cut back on the capsicum (red pepper - I used a small green pepper which had red streaks through it) but overall he would be happy to have again - a keeper. Thank you once again for a delicious recipe The Flying Chef, made for Edition 8 - Make My Recipe.
