Blueberry Balsamic Chicken with Mixed Greens Salad
For the Chicken portion here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup blueberries
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Ingredients you’ll need for the Mixed Greens Salad:
- 4 cups mixed greens (green butterhead lettuce, kale, and/or spinach)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup French breakfast radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cut parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cut dill, chopped
- 1 sweet baby Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the Blueberry Balsamic Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Glaze and Bake the Chicken: Brush the blueberry balsamic glaze over the seared chicken breasts, reserving some for later. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Prepare the Mixed Greens Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced French breakfast radishes, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh dill, thinly sliced sweet baby Vidalia onion, and blueberries.
