Blueberry Pecan Glazed Chicken

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.

Food Safety

Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.
