Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and thyme in a saucepan. Smash blueberries and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Pour the blueberry sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth.
