  • 1/2 cup plum vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, minced

Instructions

For the Chicken

  • 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

  • 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!)
  • Drizzle over the cooked chicken.
