Tasty Blackberry Bourbon Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- ½ cup bourbon
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the simmering sauce, stirring until it thickens.

- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the blackberry bourbon sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
