Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons Raspberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (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. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the fresh raspberries, raspberry preserves, balsamic vinegar, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking down the raspberries with the back of your spoon.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the raspberry sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to reheat.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the raspberry chicken hot, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
