Description

A delightful chicken dish where savory meets sweet through the unique pairing of blueberries and thyme.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended. Add the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, a tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until they start to burst.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet. Add marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. In the last two minutes of cooking, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves onto the chicken breasts.
  5. Serve the chicken on a platter, spooning the blueberry sauce over the breasts.

Notes

Serve with a side of roasted asparagus or pair with quinoa to soak up the sauce.
