This recipe combines the juicy tenderness of grilled chicken with a tantalizing blackberry glaze that brings a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, making it an unforgettable summer grilling idea.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup Honey
2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the sauce is cooling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Once the sauce has cooled, reserve about ½ cup for serving, then brush the remaining sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with the reserved blackberry sauce drizzled on top.
