Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let the blueberry sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them with the blueberry sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and well coated with the sauce.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon some of the blueberry sauce over the chicken breasts.
- Serve the chicken with the remaining blueberry sauce on the side. You can garnish with fresh blueberries or herbs, if desired.
This chicken with blueberry sauce is a delicious and unique dish that combines savory and sweet flavors. Enjoy it with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
