Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
⅓ cup seedless blackberry fruit spread, no sugar added
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon cornstarch, or as desired

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. While the chicken breasts are cooking, whisk together the chicken broth, thyme, blackberry spread, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Once the chicken breasts have browned on both sides, pour in the blackberry sauce, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over halfway through cooking. Serve with the reduced blackberry sauce. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with about 2 teaspoons of water, and stir into simmering sauce; let cook until thickened, about 1 minute.

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped red onion
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup seedless blackberry preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and saute till translucent.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme over the top of the chicken. Add chicken to skillet and saute 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm. Reduce heat to medium low. Add preserves, vinegar, and salt and pepper, stirring constantly until the preserves melt. Spoon the sauce over chicken to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, plump blackberries: Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots. Freshly picked berries will have the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

This balsamic blackberry chicken recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic flavor combination. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
