How to Whip Up Grilled Chicken with Berry Reduction

1. Season the Chicken:
   Rub both chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil. This will ensure they’re flavorful and won’t stick to the grill.
2. Grill That Chicken!:
   Heat up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts on it and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side. They should have a lovely char and be fully cooked inside.
3. Berry Reduction Time:
   While the chicken is grilling, get started on the berry reduction. Combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, honey, thyme, garlic, and chicken broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Simmer and Reduce:
   Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the berry mixture simmer for about 15 minutes. It should thicken nicely. Keep stirring occasionally to avoid it sticking to the pan.
5. Serving:
   Once your chicken is grilled to perfection and your berry reduction has thickened, plate the chicken. Generously drizzle the berry reduction over the chicken.

Tips for the Perfect Grilled Chicken with Berry Reduction

1. Chicken Prep:
   Always let your chicken sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before grilling. This ensures even cooking.
2. Berry Choice:
   Opt for ripe, fresh berries. The riper they are, the better the reduction will taste.
3. Watch the Grill:
   Make sure to keep an eye on the chicken while it’s grilling to avoid overcooking.
4. Rest the Chicken:
   After grilling, let your chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This keeps it juicy.
