Maple lends a sweet touch to blackberry salsa. The easy recipe is also great paired with fish. —Tammy Thomas, Morrisville, Vermont

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh blackberries
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the flour, egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Coat chicken with flour, dip in egg, then coat with crumbs.

Delicious! I loved it. I seasoned the chicken with Mrs. Dash citrus seasoning. I seasoned the flour with Mrs Dash table blend and the panko crumbs with Mrs Dash chicken seasoning.

After using the blackberries l substituted Kiwi Fruit was not as sweet but just as wonderful! The kiwi version was also great with pork Chops

I have to admit, I was skeptical about using blackberries for the salsa at first. But they tasted wonderful with the balsamic vinegar and the maple syrup. I will definitely make this again.
