Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup red grapes
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic cloves (peeled and smashed) to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Step 6
Stir in the chicken broth and thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, lower the heat, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the skillet again and keep warm.
Step 9
Add the grapes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Step 10
Stir in the heavy cream and butter, letting the sauce thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the pieces to coat them fully.
Step 12
Serve the chicken and grapes with the sauce drizzled on top. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
