Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts Make sure they’re fresh!
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries The star of the show!
  • 3 tablespoons fresh thyme Or about 1 tablespoon if using dried.
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar For that little twang!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for that oven-roasted perfection.
  2. Season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, mix your blueberries, thyme, honey, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Gently mash a few blueberries to release their juices.
Cooking
  1. Place your seasoned chicken in a baking dish and pour the blueberry thyme mixture over the top, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  2. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
  3. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flair, sprinkle extra thyme on top before serving. You can substitute blueberries with raspberries or sliced peaches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
