Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh raspberries, honey, apple cider vinegar, chipotle pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Use a spoon or spatula to mash the raspberries for a smoother sauce consistency.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the raspberry chipotle glaze over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Plate the chicken breasts and drizzle them with additional glaze from the skillet.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
