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)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish the dish with fresh raspberries and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve the raspberry chicken immediately, paired with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
