Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken fillets
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 pieces roasted red peppers (jarred or freshly roasted)
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the roasted red peppers, fresh raspberries, chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, and honey to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries begin to break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender), blend the sauce until smooth. (Optional: Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a silkier texture.)
Step 6
Return the sauce to the skillet over low heat. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and spoon the raspberry and roasted red pepper sauce over the fillets.
Step 7
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve the chicken fillets hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
