What should I have with my blueberry wine? Chicken, again? If you have become bored eating same old chicken recipes, then you better take a look at the chicken recipe that I’ve got for you. It consists of Chicken breasts, but that’s not where the excitement ends. It’s the sauce that makes this chicken recipe more intriguing because it is made of Blueberry wine. You can make this recipe in a pan or you can barbecue chicken breasts on a Traeger Renegade Elite grill. It is up to you to decide as to how you want chicken breasts to be cooked.
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
2. 8 tbsps., clarified butter.
3. 125 grams refined flour.
4. ½ tsp salt.
5. ¼ tsp pepper.
6. 2 tbsps., onion, minced.
7. ¼ tsp cinnamon.
8. 1 cup of blueberry wine.
Method:
1. You need to sprinkle four chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and flour.
2. If preparing the recipe in a skillet, then pour in 6 to 8 tbsps., clarified butter.
3. When you see the butter getting deep in color, then gently put the chicken pieces in the skillet.
4. Make sure to regulate heat so that the butter remains hot, but doesn’t change its color from deep yellow.
5. It is going to take 3 minutes for each side of chicken breasts to cook properly. After 3 minutes, you need to saute on the other side.
6. When you find chicken breasts getting springy, it means, the chicken is ready.
7. If using a smoker, then turn on the grill on medium heat and brush it with butter. Add chicken breasts on the grill and let it cook for 3-4 minutes or until you see the chicken breasts getting dark golden. Flip to the other side now and repeat the process.
How to make blueberry wine sauce?
1. If you have cooked chicken breasts in the skillet, then there will be some butter left in it, so leave it as it is.
2. Add 2 tbsps., minced onions and saute for a minute or so.
3. Add a cup of blueberry wine and boil it to burn off all the alcohol.
4. The liquid will become syrupy, so now, you need to add a pinch of cinnamon in order to expose the spiciness of blueberries.
5. Take the skillet off the heat and add a half stick of butter.
6. Mix butter with blueberry wine syrup and then, pour the sauce over chicken breasts.
