Blueberry Pecan Glazed Chicken

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 30 min

Serves: 4

While many of these ingredients sound like they belong in a dessert, blueberries, maple, and pecans create a versatile sauce. This chicken is just as home alongside greens and mashed potatoes as it is sliced and served on a cheese plate.
