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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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. 
  2. 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! 
  3. 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). 
  4. Spoon over the chicken, then sprinkle with freshly chopped basil to serve. 

Notes

  • To make dairy-free: use dairy free butter or olive oil.
