Servings: 4
Here's what you need:
For the Chicken:
- 1.5 pounds organic, skinless, boneless chicken tenders
- 1 cup organic blackberries
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup plum vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/8 cup yellow onion, minced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 packet Stevia
- Rinse the chicken tenders and pat dry. Place in a large ziplock bag.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.
- *optional* Strain the seeds from marinade (If you don't mind the crunch, then leave the seeds in!)
- Pour the marinade into the bag of chicken, seal and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the marinated chicken in a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven, drain off excess marinade, then place under high broil for 4 minutes, watching closely. Remove when golden.
For the Blackberry Sauce:
- 1 TBL coconut oil
- 1 cup organic blackberries
- 1 packet Stevia
- 1 Tbl plum vinegar
- In a skillet over medium low heat, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer, stirring often, until the blackberries become bright and the sauce reaches desired consistency.
- If you wish to thicken the sauce more, add 1/2 teaspoon of arrowroot powder.
- *optional* Strain the seeds from the sauce (If you don't mind the crunch, then leave the seeds in!)
- Serve over the cooked chicken.
