  3. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and add to the pan when the oil and butter are hot and bubbly.
  4. Sear chicken breasts over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 1 minute per side or until a light crust forms.
  5. Remove to a baking dish and set aside.
  6. To the remaining olive oil and butter in the skillet, add blueberries with balsamic vinegar + honey sauce, red onion, and rosemary.
  7. Simmer about 10 minutes, or until the blueberries have collapsed.
