Taste:
Applebee’s Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp features Cajun-seasoned chicken breast and shrimp, seared to bring out a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. The bourbon-infused sauce adds a touch of sweetness that balances the Cajun spices, giving the dish a rich and complex taste. The shrimp is buttery with a hint of garlic, complementing the hearty, flavorful chicken.

The chicken breast is tender yet has a light sear on the outside, providing a satisfying chew. The shrimp is juicy and plump, cooked just right to avoid any rubberiness. Paired with seasoned red potatoes and sautéed onions and mushrooms, the dish offers a variety of textures that work well together.
Presentation:
Served on a sizzling cast-iron plate, the dish is visually engaging. The golden-brown chicken and shrimp sit atop a bed of roasted potatoes with sautéed onions and mushrooms, with a drizzle of the bourbon sauce. The hot skillet keeps the meal warm and adds a bit of drama to the presentation.
Overall Experience:
The Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp is a flavorful choice, especially for those who enjoy a bit of spice. The sizzling plate enhances the overall experience, creating an engaging and aromatic dining experience. While the flavors are robust, they’re well-balanced, making this a popular dish among regulars.
