Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine and deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, mash half of the raspberries in a small bowl and set aside the rest for garnish.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 9

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet. Add the mashed raspberries to the sauce, followed by the cornstarch slurry. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil to thicken the sauce.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the raspberry sauce over them. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and reserved whole raspberries over the top.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the chicken warm with your choice of side dishes such as rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
