An easy and healthy summer classic meal- grilled chicken with a tangy and sweet sauce composed of blueberry and barbecue.

Ingredients

• ½ cup diced onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup dark brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 six-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions

1. Prepare and heat grill.
2. On a stove, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté onion for 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add blueberries, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and salt. Stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
3. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to blend until smooth. Transfer ½ cup of sauce to one bowl and reserve for serving. Transfer remaining sauce to a second bowl for grilling.
4. Pound chicken breasts to flatten to ½-inch thickness. Place flattened chicken breasts on prepared grill. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, turn and grill another 5 minutes.
