Fav New Recipe - Bourbon Crack Chicken

I didn’t name it this but after one bite I certainly understood the meaning behind the word “crack” in its title, this could become addicting!I discovered this recipe last week on the Spiced Chefs website. 

The recipe made 4 generous servings with the rice (we are using the 3rd and 4th servings for our lunches tomorrow).

For those on Weight Watchers I ran the recipe on the WW site and it is 6 points per serving before the rice. Very reasonable for such a filling meal.

Here is the recipe taken directly from the Spiced Chefs website so you can enjoy it as well.
