Instructions
To make the blackberry BBQ sauce:
Combine blackberries, vinegars, Splenda Stevia Sweetener, onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, salt and water into a saucepan. Heat to medium, stirring occasionally.
When sauce starts to simmer, blend it together with an immersion blender, making sauce completely smooth. Continue to stir. Sauce is done when it thickens, and the onions completely soften. Remove sauce from heat. Carefully pour sauce through a fine strainer to remove the seeds and pulp. Set sauce aside.
To make the chicken:
Season both sides of chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Heat grill to medium-high. Sear chicken for about 3 minutes per side.
Reserve half of the Blackberry BBQ sauce for dipping; with the other half of the sauce, being to brush the chicken frequently as it grills.
Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. Use the reserved Blackberry BBQ Sauce to add more before serving. Enjoy!
Note
Pull chicken off the grill at about 160ºF; chicken should reach 165ºF due to carry-over cooking time and will stay juicy and tender.
If no immersion blender is available, cook the sauce until reduced, let cool, then process in a blender until smooth. Run through a sieve to remove seeds and pulp
