Bourbon Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by both Cajun and Chinese-American cuisines, often named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans. This savory-sweet entrée typically consists of tender, bite-sized pieces of chicken, pan-fried or grilled, then coated in a rich glaze made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and occasionally bourbon whiskey for depth of flavor. The sauce creates a caramelized coating, giving the dish its signature sticky texture. While Bourbon Chicken is high in protein due to the chicken, its healthiness can vary. The dish may be high in sugar and sodium from the sauce, especially in restaurant versions, making portion control important. For a lighter option, consider baked chicken and a reduced-sugar sauce. Paired with steamed vegetables or brown rice, it can be part of a balanced meal that satisfies cravings for bold, indulgent flavors.
