Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup (fresh or frozen) raspberries
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup (low-sodium) chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh rosemary
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet 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 cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the raspberries to the skillet, gently mashing them with a wooden spoon to release their juices.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the raspberry balsamic sauce over them to coat. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes.
Garnish with chopped rosemary if desired. Serve the chicken warm with the raspberry balsamic sauce drizzled over the top.
