For this healthy blueberry recipe, we simmer two cups of fresh berries with tarragon, red wine, chicken broth, and honey, then season to taste. The resulting schmear is bold, balanced, and an explosion of flavor—especially once spooned over a bed of zucchini noodles and the juicy, paprika-spiced chicken thighs.
