Blueberry & balsamic glazed chicken

Want a sophisticated, healthy take on a weeknight staple? This mouth-watering chicken dish is incredibly easy to prepare, and pairs perfectly with mash and greens.

  • Method

    1. Preparation

      Preheat oven to 180°c.

    2. Chicken

      Heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a large, heavy, nonreactive skillet. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and add to the pan when the oil and butter are hot and bubbly. Sear chicken breasts over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 1 minute per side or until a light crust forms. Remove to a baking dish and set aside. Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet and, when hot, stir in shallots and cook until soft and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes.

    3. Balsamic mixture

      Add blueberries and cook 1 minute. Stir in vinegar, maple syrup, rosemary, remaining salt and pepper and simmer about 10 minutes, or until the blueberries have collapsed. Pour the blueberry balsamic mixture over chicken and put baking dish in the top half of the oven for about 10 minutes, until the chicken has cooked through to a temperature of 75°c.
