Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt to taste salt
  • Pepper to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, combine the blueberries, thyme, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix well.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the blueberry mixture over the top.

Cooking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  • Serve warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.

Notes

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before slicing to prevent juices from leaking out. The sauce thickens as it cools, so trust the oven if it looks runny. Optional to sear the chicken for added color.
