1

Whisk oil, salt, paprika, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2

Add sugar to a saucepan set over medium heat; cook, without stirring, until it begins to melt, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the sugar melts, gradually turns golden, and just begins to darken, 1 minute or less. Remove the pan from the heat. Add vinegar; stir until the sugar dissolves.
3

Return the pan to medium-high heat; add blueberries. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue simmering until the blueberries soften and the sauce thickens to a syrup-like consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. If the sauce seems too thin, simmer for a few more minutes. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the heat.
4

Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain the blueberry sauce, using a spatula to press through as much liquid as possible. Discard the blueberry skins.
5

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade; shake off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
6

Cook the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 1 to 3 minutes.
7

Serve the breasts over a swirl of blueberry sauce, with more sauce drizzled on top.
8

If the sauce seems too thin, simmer a few more minutes. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the heat.

13

Grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side.
14

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for 1 to 3 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
