Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook chicken 5 - 7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.  Remove to a plate and loosely cover.  

In the same skillet, add blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon and thyme sprigs.

Simmer 3 - 5 minutes, stirring gently, until blueberries burst and sauce thickens. 

Stir in butter if using, then return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the top.

Simmer 1 - 2 minutes to glaze.  Serve immediately.
