Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for garnish (optional)
– Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Best-Ever Blueberry Thyme Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to enjoy a meal that’s brimming with incredible flavors:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Blueberries: Gently mix in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
3. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.
4. Marinate: Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight.
5. Preheat the Oven or Grill: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
7. Cook the Chicken:
Grilling: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Baking: Place chicken in a baking dish and pour some of the marinade on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
9. Garnish: Serve with lemon wedges and fresh thyme sprigs for an appealing presentation.

Following these detailed steps will guide you to a flavorful and moist Blueberry Thyme Chicken that is bound to be a hit.
