Drunken Chicken image

I picked up the McCormick Cookbook for 50 cents in a thrift shop, mainly because this recipe, chicken breasts in a rich rum flavored cream sauce, caught my eye. It was a good move. The chicken was absolutely delicious. I had it on noodles, and thought it was perfect that way. But it would go with many things. I did not include the marinating time in the total cooking time, which is 30 minutes.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup light rum
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon Bon Appetit seasoning mix (see note)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness and pierce several times with a fork; place in a single layer in a shallow glass dish and set aside.
  • Combine rum, nutmeg, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, bon appetit seasoning, crushed red pepper and ginger and mix well; pour over chicken and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once.
  • Melt the butter over a medium heat in a skillet with a cover.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinate (but reserve the marinade) and saute in the butter until cooked through; when done, remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pan and sautee until cooked.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the marinade, and then gradually add the sour cream, stirring well, until the mixture is well-blended.
  • Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • You might want to check and stir it once or twice during the cooking time to keep it from separating.
  • Serve the sauce over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle with additional nutmeg if desired.
  • NOTES:.
  • If you don't have bon appetit seasoning, you can substitute a mixture of celery salt and onion powder in equal amounts.
  • If you would rather use celery seed and/or dried onion flakes, try to crush them up as much as possible, and add about 1/4 teaspoons of salt.
  • Also, if you find the sauce getting too thick, you can always thin it just a bit with a little milk or cream.
