Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme minced
- Salt and pepper
- 4 4 - 5 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons minced shallot (or onion)
- ¼ cup pinot noir wine (or another red wine or if you don’t drink use chicken broth)
- ½ cup seedless blackberry jam
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Step 1Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the top of each breast, then season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the breasts, herb side down and cook, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and keep warm.
- Step 3Reduce the heat to medium. Add the shallots to the pan and saute for one minute. Add the wine (or broth) stirring to scrape up any brown bits; simmer until the wine is reduced by half. Add the jam and vinegar and simmer until the preserves melt. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the breasts and serve.
