 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Sautéed Chicken with Fresh Blueberry Sauce from My Recipes.com. Fresh blueberries are as much a part of summer as corn on the cob. Bake them in pies and muffins, or try them in a sweet and tangy sauce for chicken. Find your ingredients - including chicken, blueberries and dry white wine - at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday! Did you know? Blueberries are native to North America, and the highbush varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s. Hailed as a "superfood," blueberries are an excellent source of dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, iron, and a number of antioxidants.
