Low Carb Chicken Cutlets with Fontina and Fresh Blueberry Sauce

WW Recipe of the Day: Chicken Cutlets with Fontina and Fresh Blueberry Sauce

I love fresh berries, but blueberries have to be my all-time favorite. Maybe it’s because we summered in Maine were wild blueberries are abundant. There is even a Blueberry Festival in Machias, Maine, where you could find blueberry everything from pancakes, pies, jams, donuts, shortcakes, ice cream and more.

Not only are blueberries delicious, but according to healthline.com they are often labeled a superfood because they are incredibly healthy and nutritious.

Did you know blueberries can boost your heart health, brain function and numerous other aspects of your body? What’s more, they’re sweet, colorful and easily enjoyed either fresh or frozen.

This low carb recipe takes plain chicken to new heights with a simple blueberry pan sauce that comes together in minutes. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

How to Make Blueberry Chicken Cutlets with Fontina Cheese, Step-by-Step

Step 1: Melt butter in a skillet. Add seasoned chicken to skillet and cook until done.

Step 2: Remove chicken from pan and put on plate. Top the cutlets with shredded cheese and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 3: Whisk together apple juice, vinegar and mustard. Add to skillet and simmer. Add blueberries and tarragon (or thyme) and continue simmering. Stir in remaining butter.

Step 4: Top chicken cutlets with blueberry sauce and serve.

Recipe Notes

• Use half the amount of dried herbs in place of fresh.
• Make your own cutlets by thinly slicing or pounding boneless skinless chicken breasts.
• Fontina is a semi-soft cheese with a buttery, nutty flavor.
• Use Provolone, Gouda, Gruyere or a shredded Italian cheese blend as a substitute for Fontina, or skip the cheese all together and save a point!

Serving Suggestions

• Serve blueberry chicken cutlets with ginger roasted green beans.
• It would be delicious alongside rice (cauliflower rice) or creamy mashed potatoes and a green salad.
• Serve this chicken with baked sweet potatoes.
• Serve blueberry sauce topped cutlets on a bed of wilted sesame spinach.
• Creamy grits would pair nicely with these chicken cutlets.

Ways to Use Leftovers

Dice up the remaining chicken and add mayo or greek yogurt for a blueberry chicken salad served on a bed of greens, or as a sandwich with your favorite light bread.

Simply reheat and serve on top of a bed of salad greens. For more blueberry flavor, drizzle greens with a little blueberry vinegar.

 

 

I really like the one by Outrageous Olive Oil & Vinegars. Who needs salad dressing? I think these tasty vinegars are a great alternative to heavier dressings.
