Friday Night Challenge: Smoky Hunan Chicken

I finally got the chance to go to the store and pick up the needed supplies for last week's Challenge. As a review, the ingredients were:
chicken---pecans---water chestnuts---sweet potatoes---bourbon

I decided to give the ingredients a spicy Hunan taste since we like that flavor (and I had a jar of smoky hunan sauce I was interested in trying). To make the dish (easy to do!):
--cut up two sweet potatoes into very small cubes
--cook on fairly high heat in some canola oil until they start to get soft and carmelize
Turn down the heat and add the following:
--hunan sauce (I used Hunan Smokehut Spicy Grill Sauce)
--can of sliced water chestnuts
--2 oz. pecan pieces
--chicken pieces (can use a couple of chicken breasts if you'd like--I had left-over fried chicken that I pulled apart and used)

Let these ingredients cook on low heat until everything is heated through; then after turning off the heat, pour in 2T. of American Honey bourbon. Stir for even coverage.

This is incredibly easy, quick, and is quite economical. It makes a pretty dish and tastes great!

Sometimes a Simple Sandwich is the Best

The other day I was hungry come lunch time; Tom was at work, so my lunch menu was pretty loose. As I walked into the kitchen, I spotted a pretty red tomato and my mind registered bacon and tomato sandwich...I looked into the fridge and found a bit of bacon. Minutes later the bacon was frying in the skillet, the tomato was sliced, the bread was in the toaster, and the mayonnaise was at the ready. As I looked at the ensemble, I decided a fried egg would make it even better. So, after the bacon was finished, I dropped an egg into the skillet with the bacon grease. Once everything was stacked on the bread, I had one more thought...cheese. On went a slice and it melted down just a bit from the heat of the just cooked egg. 
Sometimes, the simplest things taste just right...I know this concoction sure did!
