In my first book (aptly titled, Simply…Woman!) I recommend getting 40% of your total daily calories from “Green Light Proteins,” and this amazing chicken dish is the ideal lunch or dinner protein to keep you in balance. It also happens to be perfect summer fare now that those long days of sun are upon us!

Ingredients

4 chicken breast portions

4 tbsp dry white wine or hard cider

2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

pepper

fresh rosemary sprigs and blackberries to garnish

 

Sauce

1 3/4 cups blackberries

1 tbsp apple vinegar

2 tbsp red currant jelly

1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

 

Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces and place in a bowl. Sprinkle over the wine or cider and chopped rosemary and season to taste with pepper. Cover and set aside to marinate for at least an hour.

Drain the marinade from the chicken and reserve for the sauce. Cook under a preheated moderately hot broiler for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden. To make the sauce, place the marinade in a pan with the blackberries and simmer gently until soft. Press through a strainer.

Return the blackberry puree to the pan, add the apple vinegar and red currant jelly, and bring to a boil. Boil the sauce, uncovered, until it is reduced by about one third.

Spoon bramble sauce onto the chicken. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Garnish plates with fresh herb leaves and blackberries.
