Blueberry BBQ Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

½ cup onion, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups wild blueberries, frozen

¼ cup ketchup

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

¼ cup dark brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

6 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

1. Prepare and heat grill.

2. On a stove, heat a medium saucepan to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté onion for 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add blueberries, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook, occasionally stirring, for 4 minutes.

3. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to blend until smooth. Transfer ½ cup of sauce to one bowl and reserve for serving. Transfer remaining sauce to a second bowl for grilling.

4. Pound chicken breasts to flatten to ½-inch thickness. Place flattened chicken breasts on prepared grill. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, turn and grill for another 5 minutes.

5. Spread blueberry barbecue sauce evenly over chicken; grill for 1 minute.

6. Turn chicken and spoon larger portion of sauce evenly over other side; grill 1 minute longer. Chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7. Serve with reserved ½ cup blueberry barbecue sauce.
