Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, sage, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour the blackberry glaze over the chicken thighs in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve the chicken thighs warm, spooning any extra glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

You can serve this chicken with roasted vegetables, rice, or a side salad.
