BOURBON-ORANGE CHICKEN - RACHAEL RAY

Steps:

• To make the chicken: preheat a nonstick skillet over med-high heat; add in oil and butter.
• When the butter has melted and is hot, add in the chicken.
• Season with salt and pepper; brown for 3-4 minutes on each side.
• Decrease heat to medium low; add in juice concentrate and spoon over chicken as it melts down.
• Simmer 5 minutes; transfer chicken to dinner plates, leaving most of the sauce in the pan; top chicken with almonds.
• Increase heat on the sauce and add in bourbon; cook sauce until it is slightly browned, 2-3 minutes; spoon over chicken and serve.
• To make the butter: place bread in a warm oven or toaster oven to crisp the crust.
• In a small bowl, microwave the marmalade and butter 15 seconds on HIGH.
• Add in hot sauce and stir; spread or brush the sweet-hot butter on the crusty hot bread and serve alongside the chicken.

STICKY MAPLE BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan breast-side down and sear until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the chicken in searing, in a small dish whisk together the stock, syrup, and bourbon. Add the bourbon mixture to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency before the chicken has cooked through, add a few splashes of stock to the skillet and continue cooking.)
• To serve, remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Spoon the sticky sauce over the chicken and enjoy warm.
