How to Make Bourbon Chicken on the Blackstone

Step 1 – Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a medium size mixing bowl and set aside. 

Step 2 – Spread the avocado oil into a thin layer on the griddle. 

Step 3 – Spread the sliced chicken breasts into a single layer onto the griddle. 

Step 4 – Allow the chicken to cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Flip the chicken and let it cook on the other side of the chicken for 3-4 more minutes until browned. 

Step 5 – Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the chicken and toss to combine the ingredients. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender. 

Step 6 – Pour the sauce mixture on top and toss to coat the chicken and vegetables with the sauce. 

• Step 7 – Let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.  
• Step 8 – Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill to a separate platter. Serve as is or over rice topped with the sliced green onions. Enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

• High Smoke Point Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point can work for this recipe. I love using avocado oil but vegetable oil, coconut oil or canola oil would all work. 
• Stirring Ingredients – Once the sauce has been added to the griddle, make sure to toss the mixture, to prevent the soy sauce from burning onto the grill. 
• Prepare Chicken – Dice the chicken about the same size pieces so it cooks evenly and about the same time.
• Clean Blackstone – Learn How to Clean Blackstone Griddle with these simple tips.

Flavor Variations

• Tropical Flavor – Add in 1 cup of diced pineapple plus 2 tbsp of the juice for amazing flavor.
• Spicy – If you prefer a hint of spice, double the red pepper flakes plus the addition of 1 tbsp of sriracha sauce makes it extra spicy.
• Vegetables – Feel free to ad more veggies or vegetables of your choice to make this dish your own. We often will toss in vegetables that we have leftover from the week
