Fruit Glaze on Chicken *Pictures Included*

[rodriguezpoultry]

I have a weird urge to try something new tonight.


I have a "fruit medley" that is frozen. It consists of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Upon thawing, the fruit loses it's juice (which sucks), but I'm wondering if I can turn the juice into a fruit glaze?

I would like to put the fruit glaze on boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Any idea how to accomplish this? (I've never made a glaze before, so any help from that point on...)

Easy to do.

Mix a small amount of cornstarch into cold water or juice
Heat up the berry juice to boiling
Slowly add the cornstarch to the boiling juice. (It will go in looking creamy, but when it cooks it will turn clear and thicken the juice)
Go slow as it will turn into glop quickly if you add too much.
Turn off heat when desired thickness is reached.
You can add other items if you want.
sugar if you want it sweeter
a little lemon will brighten the flavor
your favorite herbs and spices.

Another thing you could do is:
Saute the chicken breasts. Remove from pan
Add the berry juice to the pan and either thicken with the cornstarch or just simmer until reduced. Add the other items if desired. Put the chicken back into the sauce.

Good luck,

Imp

Sounds yummy! I like marinating in pineapple/mango with a touch of cayenne. I will have to give this glaze a try.

That sounds like a great idea.

I like to take orange marmalade, whole mustard seed, a little fresh lemon juice, rosemary sprigs and use that as a glaze on everything.

Imp gave good advice.

OK, this is what I am good at.

Take boneless chicken breasts, flatten slightly by pounding between wax paper. Salt and pepper well.

Saute these in olive oil and 2 Tlb butter about 15-20 minutes; once done, remove to a plate. Deglaze the pan with a flat wooden spoon with the juice you have, bringing to a boil, add about a cup of sugar and cook until thickened. Spice this up anyway you like. I like to add garlic powder, ginger powder, onion powder and black pepper for a sweet & spicey flavor. I only add salt if needed, and if your fruit is rather thick, you can cook on med-high heat until a glaze forms, if not thicken with corn starch (use small amt. in cold water and add a little at a time). Once glaze is done, pour over plated chicken, serving extra glaze on the side. I serve this with long grain & wild rice. Yummy.
