Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse blueberries under cool water and pat dry. Finely chop the fresh thyme.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped thyme. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Sear marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

- Transfer to a serving platter, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top and garnish with extra thyme.
