Ingredients

Now, a lot of flavor requires a lot of ingredients.

But, don't be intimidated by the length of the ingredient list. When you take a closer look, you'll see that they're all common cooking ingredients, and you'll be using the same ones for both the chicken and the shrimp.

So, here's what you'll need for the potato puree:

• 3 cups Small/Medium Potatoes, cut and cleaned
• ½ cup Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp. Butter
• Salt and Pepper

For the chicken:

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• ¼ cup Bourbon 
• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 tsp. Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp. Dried Oregano
• Salt and Pepper

The shrimp:

• 1 cup Shrimp
• ¼ cup Bourbon 
• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 tsp. Paprika Powder
• 1 tsp. Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp. Dried Oregano
• Salt and Pepper

And for some extra flavor:

• ¼ cup Mushrooms, chopped
• ¼ cup Onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

See, the length of the list is a little misleading. There are actually way fewer ingredients needed than it seems.

And what's great is you can use many of them to make some more easy dinner recipes like this Ruth Chris stuffed chicken.

How to make Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp 

Alright, so the process of making this delicious recipe is pretty simple. Just a few steps is all you need to follow to make it. 

So, let's not waste any more time, let's get cooking!

STEP 1: PREP WORK

First, put the chicken in a medium bowl and add the bourbon, olive oil, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Then, give everything a mix, and put the bowl in the refrigerator to let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes. 

Next, put the shrimp in a small bowl and add the bourbon, olive oil, paprika powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Then, give that a mix and put it in the fridge as well for 30 minutes.

Lastly, season the mushrooms and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking.

Now place a large pot of well-salted water over high heat and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add the cut and cleaned potatoes to it and cook them for about 15 minutes or until they're soft fork-tender. Then drain the water, and set the potatoes aside. 

STEP 2: COOKING THE CHICKEN, SHRIMP, & MUSHROOMS

Once everything marinades, heat a grill pan to medium heat and coat it with a little cooking spray. 

First, grill the chicken breasts for about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes - or until the internal temp reaches 165°F. 

Next, grill the shrimp for about 3 minutes on each side - or until browned.

Lastly, grill the mushrooms for a few minutes until browned. And if your grill pan is big enough, you can cook the shrimp and mushrooms simultaneously. 

STEP 3: PUREEING THE POTATOES

By now, the potatoes should be ready to go. Add the boiled potatoes to a large bowl and mash them up with a puree masher. 

Then, add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper and mix until everything combines. 

STEP 4: SERVING

Once everything is cooked, add the mashed potatoes to a bowl. Then put the grilled chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms on top.

Finally, dig in and enjoy!

How to store Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp 

Alright, so this bourbon street chicken and shrimp recipe will make around 4 servings. So this recipe is ideal for a big family dinner or if you want to have some leftovers for dinner or lunch over the next few days. 

If you do have leftovers, I recommend storing the potatoes and the chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms in separate airtight containers. Everything will stay good stored this way in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

Then, to reheat, put the chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms in a pan with a little oil and cook it on the stove over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes - or until warm.

And for the potatoes, microwave them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until warm.
