SAUTEED CHICKEN

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves
1 Tblsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tblsp shallots, minced
1/4 cup dry Maderia or sherry

1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 Tblsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar

  • Pound each piece of chicken between plastic wrap to a thickness of 1/2 inch using a meat mallet. After pounding, cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces.

  • Saute shallots in pan with 1 tsp oil over high heat, 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with Madeira, cooking until liquid is nearly evaporated.
  • Add blueberries; simmer until berries start to burst, about 2 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, brown sugar, pepper flakes, and remaining 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Crush blueberries with a potato masher; simmer 2 minutes.
  • Place 2 chicken pieces on each plate. Top servings with blueberry sauce; garnish with blue cheese.
