This was my entry into our family's latest cooking competition. In this round, all recipes had to include alcohol in some form. It was well received but lost out to a homemade vodka cream sauce. Note - cooking time does not include marinating time.
Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken tenderloins
1 lb bacon
1 c bourbon
1/2 c olive oil
2t cider vinegar
1/4 c minced red onion
1t dijon mustard
cherry tomatoes
sour cream
crumbled blue cheese
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients except sour cream, tomatoes, blue cheese, chicken & bacon in a baking pan.
2. Cut bacon slices in half.
3. Cut chicken tenderloins into pieces about 3 in. long.
4. Wrap chicken in bacon slices and thread onto skewers.
5. Put assembled chicken into marinade arranged so skewers are not completely submerged but chicken is and marinate (preferably) overnight .
6. Preheat oven to 400. Arrange skewers on rimmed baking sheet.
7. Bake about 20 min, checking frequently & turning once during baking.
8. Mix sour cream (about a cup) with blue cheese to taste, add salt, pepper & garlic if desired.
9. Thread cherry tomatoes on the ends of skewers & arrange on platter with sour cream dip on the side.
