Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Brandy
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the fresh raspberries and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the berries soften.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the brandy. Carefully ignite the brandy with a long match or lighter to burn off the alcohol, then let it simmer until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth and honey, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, cooking gently until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
