Just wanted to share with everyone a great recipe I made over the weekend. The sauce is very tasty but not too sweet, and very easy at that! I don't have nutritional info, but as you'll see, it is very low in fat with only 2 tsp of olive oil added.
Blackberry Balsamic Chicken
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 tsp minced fresh thyme, or 1-1/4 tsp dried
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
1/3 c seedless blackberry jam
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Warm oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and thyme; cook 5 minutes, stirring. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes, turning once. Add remaining ingredients; stir just until jam is dissolved. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 10 minutes until chicken is just cooked through. Serve chicken drizzled with pan juices.
Note: I added a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce; it was pretty liquid without it.
