Blueberry Thyme Chicken combines sweet and savory flavors for a comforting dish. It’s rustic yet refined, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Create the Blueberry Sauce: Add blueberries, thyme, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup (or honey), and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir gently and let simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Finish Cooking: Nestle the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over each piece, cover, and let simmer for 15–20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Serve and Savor: Plate the chicken with blueberry thyme sauce over the top. Pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
