How to Make Berry Good Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup red currant jelly, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Optional: Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard)
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Brush 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) all over with the berry sauce.
  5. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken is baking, gently stir in 1 cup fresh blackberries into the remaining sauce in the saucepan.
  7. Heat the sauce over low heat for about 2 minutes, until the blackberries are softened and the sauce is warmed through.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, place it on a serving platter and pour the delicious berry sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
