These Glazed Blackberry Chicken breasts are grilled to perfection, basted with a homemade blackberry glaze and then topped with more of the fruity glaze. Delicious change from your normal BBQ sauce.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BBQWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #BBQWeek recipes. As always, all opinions are mine alone.

It’s already heating up where I live and the grill is going to get a workout this summer. I already tried it out on this delicious Grilled Blackberry Glazed Chicken and it was perfection! Good thing, too, as this is the first recipe to kick off #BBQWeek! Fellow food bloggers and I are sharing all things for a yummy BBQ, from beverages to desserts, and all things in between.

Our amazing sponsors, Rainier Foods and Intensity Academy Saucy Queen, have donated some great prizes for the #BBQWeek giveaway.

Be sure to read about the sponsors and the prizes below today’s recipe and, of course, enter that great giveaway. Also, don’t forget to check out all of the recipes posted today. The links are below as well.  Right now, let me show you how to make this glazed blackberry chicken recipe.

Grilled Glazed Blackberry Chicken

The blackberry glaze is a delicious change from the BBQ sauce you may normally use when grilling chicken and it’s worth the extra couple of steps to make it. Before you think that this is glaze is too sweet for meat, let me tell you that by adding the stone ground mustard it will cut some of the sweetness of the fruit and it tastes amazing. The glaze is amazing.

When I season chicken for grilling, I tend to use savory seasonings so I was excited to try this Blackberry Smoky Honey Seasoning and Dry Rub for this recipe. It was equally as amazing as the glaze was. The seasoning is loaded with pure dried blackberries, real honey and spices like pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic. I sprinkled some on the chicken prior to grilling and before I added the glaze. Check out the other seasonings and dry rubs from Rainier Foods, too. I also love their Gochu (Go-Choo) Seasoning & Rub.

How to Make Grilled Glazed Blackberry Chicken

Step 1

Make the blackberry sauce. Combine frozen or fresh blackberries, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mash the blackberries as you stir, and cook until the mixture is reduced to about ⅔ cup. It will be a little thick.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons cold butter and the grainy mustard. Essentially, you just made Blackberry BBQ Sauce.

Step 3

Transfer half the glaze to a small bowl, this will be used to serve with the cooked chicken. The other half you will use to baste the chicken while grilling.

Step 4

Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350 – 375 degrees F.). Season both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the blackberry smoky honey dry rub. When grill is ready, cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, flip the meat over on the other side and baste with the reserved glaze.

Grill chicken for another 6 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F. Flip one last time and use remaining glaze on chicken.
