Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients:
* 1 pork tenderloin (about 1-1/4 pounds)
* 2 teaspoons sodium-free chicken grilling blend (such as Mrs. Dash)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 12 ounces green beans, ends trimmed
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 small onion, chopped
* 1-1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
* 1/4 cup cider vinegar
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Rub pork with chicken seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan. Roast at 400°F for 25 minutes, until internal temperature registers 155°F.
2. When 10 minutes of cooking time remain, remove pan and spread green beans around pork; drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Stir beans and return pan to oven.
3. Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion 3 minutes. Add blueberries, vinegar, sugar, thyme and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to saucepan; cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Serve pork with sauce.

This was last nights dinner and it was very good! My pork took a bit longer to reach the temperature then 25 minutes but that just could be a problem with my oven. This did not require much effort on my part for a full and complete meal. I would definitely recommend this. This recipe is from an older issue of Family Circle.
