Blueberry Barbecued Chicken Recipe

Try this unique recipe that blends two summer favorites: fresh blueberries and barbecue sauce! This grilled chicken with a tangy blueberry barbecue sauce is perfect for the warmer months.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 cups frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 6 6-ounce boneless and skinless chicken breasts.

Directions:

1. Wash your hands.
2. Heat a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Using the olive oil, sauté the onion until translucent. Add in the blueberries, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and salt. Stir while letting it come to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 4 minutes, stirring periodically.
3. Blend the sauce mixture until smooth. Put 1/2 cup of the sauce off to the side for serving, and use the rest while grilling the chicken.
4. Flatten the chicken breasts until about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on a prepared grill, and cook 5 minutes on each side. 
5. Spread 1/2 of the designated sauce evenly on the chicken and then grill 1 minute. 
6. Flip the chicken and spread the remaining 1/2 of the sauce on that side, grilling another minute. 
7. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
8. Serve with the remaining blueberry sauce.
