Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (160 g) blackberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (144 g) fresh blackberries
Instructions
- To a medium bowl, add blackberry preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until fully incorporated and set aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and chili powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
- To a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chicken thighs. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, then flip and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Raise the heat to medium. To the same skillet, add sliced jalapeño pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add blackberries to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, gently pressing some of the berries with the back of a spoon to release their juices, while leaving others whole for texture.
- Pour the blackberry glaze into the skillet with the blackberries and jalapeños. Stir to coat everything evenly and let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon glaze over the top, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, or until the chicken is warmed through and well coated in the glaze.
- Serve warm.
