Ingredients
For the Marinade & Sauce:
- ¼ cup Strawberry Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar
- ¼ cup Chipotle Infused Olive Oil
- 3 canned chipotles in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar Raspberry Butter
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 1 tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Chicken & Beans:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- Crumbled feta, for serving
Directions
Step 1:
- Prepare the Berry-Chipotle Puree: In a food processor, combine the raspberry butter, Strawberry balsamic vinegar, chipotles in adobo, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more chipotles or salt if desired. Set aside.
Step 2:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the Strawberry Balsamic, Chipotle Olive Oil, minced garlic, Himalayan pink sea salt, and chopped rosemary.
-
Pour about three-quarters of the Berry-Chipotle puree into a shallow dish.
Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.
Step 3:
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess marinade.
- If grilling, cook for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- If baking, place in a baking dish and cook in the oven until done, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 4:
- Prepare the Black Beans: In a small pot, heat the black beans over low heat.
- Stir in a few tablespoons of the berry-chipotle puree to add flavor.
- Keep warm until ready to serve.
Step 5:
- Serve: Plate the cooked chicken breasts over a bed of the flavored black beans.
- Drizzle with additional berry-chipotle sauce. Top with crumbled feta for a salty, creamy contrast.
