Description
A flavorful dish featuring chicken breasts cooked in a delicious blueberry thyme sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the blueberry thyme sauce: In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in blueberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, and chicken broth. Simmer for 5–6 minutes until blueberries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish: Stir in butter for a silky finish. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve: Plate chicken, drizzle with extra blueberry sauce, and garnish with fresh thyme. Pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
