Grilled Chicken with Bacon, Blueberry and Caramelized Onion Jam

You’ll Need

  • 1 lb bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup coffee
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper

Prep and Cook

  • 1
    Cook bacon over medium-high heat until all the fat has been rendered.
  • 2
    Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and pat excess fat off bacon. Drain fat from the pan leaving 1 tablespoon. Reduce heat and add onions and garlic, and cook until translucent and soft, approximately 10 minutes.
  • 3
    Add blueberries, brown sugar, coffee, maple syrup and cider vinegar to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
  • 4
    Wash and pat chicken breasts dry with paper towel. Spread a small amount of Dijon mustard over each piece and season with salt and pepper. Grill or bake in the oven at 375 degrees F until golden brown and juices run clear, about 45–60 minutes.
  • 5
    To serve, spoon a large dollop of the bacon jam over each chicken breast.
