Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped shallots to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
Carefully pour in the raspberry vinegar and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the vinegar simmer and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock and raspberry preserves to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and coat it in the sauce.
Transfer the chicken to serving plates and spoon the remaining sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
