Berry Sauce Chicken Skewers
From: lindachicken__Oklahoma
This recipe is outstanding -- we love this on hot Oklahoma days!
4-6 boneless chicken thighs or breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds) skin on or off
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup of dry white wine or vermouth (I use Dry Vermouth
1 teaspoon of pepper
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Sauce:
1-3/4 cup of fresh or frozen blackberries or boysenberries
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of red currant jelly (or berry jam or jelly)
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
Cut
the chicken into 1-1/2 inch pieces and place in a bowl. Mix with the
wine, oil, rosemary, and pepper. Cover and set aside to marinate in the
refrigerator for one hour.
-
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, reserving the
marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers and season generously with
salt.
-
-
Grilling -- Preheat the grill for direct high heat. Brush the
grill grates with olive oil. Place chicken skewers on grill and cook
for 8 to 10 minutes, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place on a platter and
cover with foil to allow the chicken to rest.

To make the sauce, place the marinade and the berries in a sauce
pan and simmer gently until the berries are soft. Press through a
strainer and discard the pulp.
-
-
- Return the juice and marinade mixture to the pan. Add the
vinegar, jelly, and nutmeg and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered until
it has reduced by about 1/3 to a light syrup-like consistency.
-
- Plate the skewers and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately
~*~*~Garlic Lime Chicken~*~*~
This is ever so good, a friend of mine wanted
to fix it for the week-end and reminded me of this.
Serves 6
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
6 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons lime juice
In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of
chicken breasts.
In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium high heat. Sauté
chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes on either side or
until no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken and add lime juice and
chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the
pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan
to thoroughly coat and serve.
