A delightful chicken recipe featuring a sweet and tangy blackberry glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Season the chicken breasts with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning evenly on both sides of the chicken for balanced flavor.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
In a mixing bowl, mash the blackberries and mix with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
For a smoother glaze, strain the mixture to remove seeds.
Pour the blackberry mixture into the skillet and simmer until it thickens slightly.
Stir constantly to prevent the glaze from sticking to the skillet.
Serve the chicken topped with the blackberry glaze.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an elegant presentation.
