Main Dish - Rosemary Chicken with Blueberry Sauce



I think this week tops the list in recent memory for being bizarre, from the food I have made to the happenings in the daily life.

I started taking Thursday afternoons off due to never seeming to have enough time to get everything cooked, and things prepped for the dessert portion to get made to be able to send off to work to have devoured, so that I don't have to do it.  This week has just been even more messy.

So after the fiasco yesterday I was feeling better this morning,  then about 10am or there about my jaw starts throbbing, and I was having to keep ice on it just to keep the pain tolerable.  I thought this was a tad odd and such,  So I suffered through the rest of the time I needed to be at work and came home thinking that if it didn't clear up soon I would yet again be forced to go see the dentist and figure out what else was going wrong.

Pain wise it started to lighten up a bit,  but still was sore,  so I thought I would go get some orajel and see if that took care of it. By the time I got to the store and back it stopped hurting at all... What the...  well we will see what tomorrow brings,  hopefully we are all done with the teeth thing,  I am over that mess.

So supper... yeah... it is such an interesting color is it not?  I actually loved the color of purple it turned in the pan,  this is a little dingier looking then it did in the flesh as it were,  but for a food... I dunno...  The taste however was like most of this week surprising as to how tasty it actually was.

The recipe doesn't exist for this one,  and I was winging it as I went through things tonight sorry.  Here is the list of things that I used however.

Chicken
olive oil
rosemary
sage
thyme
pepper and salt
mushrooms
blueberries
a bit of butter
almond milk
lime juice
honey


I put all the dry ingredients together and pressed the chicken into it, and then pan seared both sides,  then stacked up the chicken in the pan and covered, simmering/steaming it the rest of the way cooked.  Then I removed the chicken and added the liquid ingredients and cooked down until the blueberries degraded down to a pulp as well as reducing the sauce thickness.
