About this recipe

Elevate your chicken dinner with a delightful blueberry balsamic glaze that perfectly balances sweet and tangy flavors. This dish is ideal for family meals or special occasions, offering a unique twist on classic glazed chicken. It's easy to make with common ingredients, ensuring both convenience and taste are at the forefront.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and rosemary if using. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens.

  3. 3

    Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Brush the thickened blueberry balsamic glaze over the chicken breasts, reserving some for serving.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  7. 7

    Serve the chicken with the remaining blueberry balsamic glaze drizzled over the top.

Chef's tip

For even more flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the glaze for a few hours before cooking. Serve with a light salad or roasted vegetables to complement the dish.
