It's a diablo theme! :'D
INGREDIENTS
- salt
- pepper
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of water (not shown)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped ginger
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup of bourbon*
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 1/2 lb of french green beans
- 1 lb of chicken breast
- OPTIONAL: chopped green onions
PROCEDURE
Prep work should take about 20 minutes. Idle time will be at least 1 hour (for marinating). Cook time should be about 1 hour and 20 minutes. This will make 2 servings.
- Finely mince your garlic. Reserve half of the garlic for the beans.
- Combine bourbon, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
- Add salt, pepper, and thyme to the mixture.
- Pour over chicken and allow chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour (over night is even better) in the fridge.
- Remove marinated chicken from the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).
- Place chicken and marinade in a baking dish.
- Bake chicken for 55 minutes.
- Set oven to broil or change the oven temperature to 500° F (260° C)
- Allow chicken to brown under the broiler for 5 minutes.
- When chicken is done, remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Set 2 cups of water to boil in a pot.
- Add quinoa and a pinch of salt.
- Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Quinoa should take about 15 – 20 minutes to cook.
- Place green beans in a skillet on medium heat.
- Add garlic, salt and pepper to the green beans. Add 1 tablespoon of water and set heat to low.
- French green beans should take about 5 minutes to cook.
- Plate chicken, quinoa and French green beans.
- OPTIONAL: Add chopped green onions to garnish.
- Eat!
And this is what you get:

PER SERVING: ~613 calories 1 serving is: 1/2 lb of chicken 1/4 lb of green beans 1/2 cup of qunioa 1/2 of the marinade + Show Spoiler +1lb of chicken = ~500 calories
1/2 lb of green beans = ~136 calories
1 cup of quinoa = ~222 calories
3 cloves of garlic = 12 calories
TOTAL: 870 calories
marinade*:
1 cup of bourbon = ~560 calories
2 tsp of honey = ~128 calories
1/2 tbs of ginger = ~12 calories
3 cloves of garlic = ~12 calories
TOTAL: 712 calories
ADJUSTED TOTAL (the 1/2): 356 calories
*this is assuming that you only really consume about 1/2 of the marinade since most of it just kind of sits around in the baking dish and doesn't adhere to the chicken.
(356 + 870)/2 =613
edit: fixed a typo T___T
edit2: As request, here's the rough "guestimate" of calories. will add the nutrition part later D:
edit3: changed the calc a bit. rather overestimate than underestimate, i guess!
edit4: I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO MATH. Revised the calorie count again!

Dear god that looks amazing.
|
oh my goodness. food porn indeed. i've got some chicken thighs and spices, i am definitely making this tonight. i'll replace the green beans with some other veggies that i have and the quinoa with rice.
|
Bourbon chicken is already delicious, and with the addition of some flair in that ginger, I bet this is bomb as hell. Will definitely make, though I'm concerned people will think the name is less a reference to Diablo and more a reference to the after effects of consuming a bit too much delicious chicken 
|
That looks sooo delicious. I would die for one of these, right now. Well done.

Would be cool if you'd add nutritional values info for the meal.

That is something I can try doing, though most of the nutritional values will be very very roughly estimated. D:
I did a quick search and here's the rough estimated nutritional values:
PER SERVING: ~494 calories
1lb of chicken = ~500 calories
1/2 lb of green beans = ~136 calories
1 cup of quinoa = ~222 calories
3 cloves of garlic = 12 calories
TOTAL: 670 calories
marinade*:
1 cup of bourbon = ~1120 calories
2 tsp of honey = ~128 calories
1/2 tbs of ginger = ~12 calories
3 cloves of garlic = ~12 calories
TOTAL: 1272 calories
ADJUSTED TOTAL (the 1/4): 318 calories
*since you don't necessarily eat the entire marinade, I had to really super "guestimate" the actual calories -- I would say you maybe consume 1/4 of the actual marinade since most of the marinade just falls off the chicken during the cooking process.
edit: fail, forgot to calculate nutrition -__-!! I'll add that to the main post when I have a bit more time to research. D:
|
I think I might do some experimenting and replace a decent portion of my rice with quinoa instead.
|
Kier, you have ruined my life. I have no interest in women or men anymore. Only food.
|
Wait, does that say that one cup of Bourbon is 1120 calories? wtf...
According to google, an ounce of bourbon is 70 calories, so an 8 ounce cup would be 560 calories. Why is it doubled?
|
Looks awesome.
But isn't that an awfull lot of garlic?

derp
Probably a poor choice in source ): I went to a nutrition site that said 140 per oz
I'll re-adjust the numbers when i am home
Thanks for the catch!
edit: Realized the serving size is 2oz.. so 2oz = 140
I need to math better :'D

I'm a little biased, so I typically put a lot of garlic.
However, since a good portion of it is in the marinade, most of the garlic will end up sitting on the bottom of the roasting pan.
I also like really garlically veggies. D: Please feel free to scale back the garlic though!

There's no such thing as 'too much garlic'. Shit's just too good.

I would not use that particular brand of bourbon for cooking.
Otherwise, sounds fantastic.

What kind of bourbon do you suggest?
I know nothing about alcohol, so I just got the cheapest. D:

I'm quite interested in this question about the bourbon aswell! I usually don't have bourbon at home (like american stuff aka Johnny Walker), i do have irish stuff will that do?
As always your blogs are fantastic!

Looks amazing.
But Makers Mark is awful  (maybe it tastes good in food i dunno, but on its own ugh)
|
Wow... half a pound of chicken per person?
Regarding the alcohol; don't waste your money on expensive brands for cooking, whether it's wine or bourbon.
