Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 12 oz total (340 g total)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 cup (240 ml) whipping cream
1 / 2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) fresh blackberries
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) fresh raspberries
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Chicken**: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
   
2. **Make the Sauce**: Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, and scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium, add the whipping cream, and whisk to combine. Add blackberries and raspberries, gently crushing a few to release juices. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then serve.
