If you’ve made my Spaghetti with No-Tomato Sauce recently, you might have a bit of extra sauce in the fridge or freezer. I love having a bit extra on hand for exactly this kind of recipe! This grain-free spin on Bourbon Chicken is excellent served over cauliflower rice, but regular rice will do if you tolerate it well. It’s also a great pairing for roasted veggies like asparagus, broccoli, squash, or sweet potatoes.
