We like to use Little Red Dress brand merlot in this chicken recipe to bring out the flavor of the berries.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup merlot or red grape juice
2 tablespoons sugar
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, raspberries, merlot and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°.
