Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups red seedless grapes, halved
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the halved grapes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grapes begin to soften.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and fresh thyme to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the grape sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Transfer the chicken to serving plates, spoon the grape sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
