Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, thyme, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, careful not to smash them.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. 5

    Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil, then remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade for later) and sear each breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Pour the reserved marinade with the blueberries over the seared chicken in the skillet.

  7. 7

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  8. 8

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

  9. 9

    Slice the chicken and spoon the blueberry sauce on top before serving.
