Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 tsp. orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Heinen’s honey
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1.5 lb. Gerber’s CARE Certified skinless chicken breasts
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Heinen’s balsamic glaze, for serving
  • Fresh basil, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  2. Combine the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, butter, orange juice and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes and set aside.
  3. Heat a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the pan followed by the chicken breasts. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and let cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  4. If the pan is oven-safe, pour the blueberry sauce directly on the chicken and transfer the pan to the oven. Alternatively, transfer the chicken to a greased oven-safe dish and top with blueberry sauce.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven.
  6. Serve with Heinen’s balsamic glaze and fresh basil.
