Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5 lb total (680 g total)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
1 cup (150 g) blackberries
1 cup (120 g) raspberries
1 cup (240 ml) balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
1 / 2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt
Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Chicken**: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and cover with foil to keep warm.
2. **Make the Berry Balsamic Reduction**: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and strain to remove seeds if desired.
3. **Finish the Dish**: Serve each chicken breast drizzled with the berry balsamic reduction and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh thyme if using.
