Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups unsweetened raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the raspberry jam, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the raspberry sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the chicken absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish the dish with fresh raspberries and chopped parsley.
Serve the raspberry chicken immediately, paired with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
