Yuck not for me! Maybe this would do better on red meat rather than chicken. But the blue juice running into the white chicken meat made it look like a three day old crime scene.

Tasty! I used 3/4 of merlot to make sure it was saucy. Thanks!

Tasty! I used a little butter also. We used a berry mix (boysenberries, black and blueberries) and it was good

Love the blueberry sweetness with the cajun spices. I agree with Toni, this is not saucy. I, too, didn't allow the berries to cook long enough to break down - much more attractive. I used Dancer's Cajun Spice Blend #36405.

I wanted to give this 4 1/2* the only thing I found, was there wasn't quite enough liquid, the wine evaporated almost immediately, so I added a bit more to make it about 1/2 cup. I also added a teaspoon of butter right at the end, feeling that the sauce didn't have quite the richness it needed. But this was a great recipe, served it with Basmati rice & gingered carrot. I would serve this to company in an instant! Thanks, dee
