Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Set the Chicken Aside: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, seasoning with Cajun seasoning. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Chicken and Bourbon: Return the chicken to the skillet and carefully pour in the bourbon. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
  5. Mix the Creamy Sauce: Add the heavy cream, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve hot over rice or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Consider serving with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
