I made this chutney with frozen blueberries and liked the results. It made a lot of chutney. I had less success when I tried freezing some of the leftover chutney in an ice cube tray. It didn't harden up enough for this method. Next time I would freeze the extra chutney in small freezer containers.
Chicken with Blueberry-Ginger Chutney
The chutney can be served warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Make it first, and chill while the chicken marinates, or prepare the chutney when the chicken is almost done marinating. Compared to fresh, frozen blueberries take about five minutes longer to cook and thicken because they release additional water.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and about 1/4 cup chutney)
