Ingredients
- 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (105g)
- 1/3 cup blueberry preserves (96g)
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar (80g)
- 2 Tbsp dijon mustard (30g)
- 1 Tbsp honey (21g)
- 3 Tbsp freshly chopped basil
Instructions
- Pound chicken to an even thickness then season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. I did 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper total.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, covered, for 3-4 minutes each side, or until internal temp reaches 165F. Transfer to a plate and set aside. You can also grill the chicken on the grill if you prefer!
- In the same skillet, combine the blueberries, preserves, vinegar, mustard and honey. Stir with a wooden spatula to scrape the browned bits from the pan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes or until thickened, then remove from heat. Taste and add additional sweetener if needed (I ended up adding a little extra honey, but stevia or any sweetener would also work).
- Spoon over the chicken, then sprinkle with freshly chopped basil to serve.
Notes
To make dairy-free: use dairy free butter or olive oil.
