Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat extra-large ovenproof skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper on chicken. In hot skillet cook, meaty sides down, 5 minutes, turning once, until well-browned on both sides. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast, uncovered, 20 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink (180°F).

2. Meanwhile, in saucepan combine juice, berries, thyme sprigs, brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to boiling. Simmer, uncovered 15-20 minutes, until slightly thickened. Discard thyme sprigs. Serve chicken with sauce, sprinkle with thyme leaves
