Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the thyme leaves.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add blueberries, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, and remaining thyme leaves. Cook and stir occasionally until the blueberries burst and sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the blueberry thyme sauce over the top. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve chicken topped with the sauce and garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
For a richer sauce, add a pat of butter at the end of cooking. Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
