Barbecued Blueberry Chicken

Barbecued Blueberry Chicken lets you enjoy family and friends and still bring them together to the table with ease.  The dish makes its own sauce with a sweet and tangy flavour.  Your kids will love this too. The foil packages lower the cooking heat and keep moisture in the chicken.  This method is similar to a poaching method.  The chicken is moist, succulent and this method prevents overcooking.

I love packets because they are like little surprises.  My grandson loves to open any package and he is sure to lick every drop of this sauce. This sauce was so good that my husband dunked bread in it.  We served the chicken with lemon rice and grilled asparagus.

Blueberries are natural antioxidants; they serve a powerful role in a healthy lifestyle. I love to eat them fresh in a bowl with nothing on them.  I add them to cereals, muffins and now I started to look at other recipe possibilities.  https://www.rd.com/health/healthy-eating/blueberry-health-benefits/

The blueberries are from the local farmer’s market.

Love these little foil packets for the grill.

The chicken was delicious and tender; the blueberries made it fruity and succulent.
