Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
2/3 cup low-fat chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup low-sugar raspberry preserves, low sugar variety
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Salt and pepper to taste. Dredge in flour, shaking excess flour from the meat.
  • Cook chicken in a nonstick skillet or wok on medium heat approximately 15 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet.
  • Mix broth, cornstarch and preserves in skillet over medium heat. Stir in vinegar. Add chicken. Cook approximately 10 minutes, turning after 5.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. They will cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries will give you the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed.
  • Make sure your balsamic vinegar is of good quality. A good quality balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook the chicken, it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Balsamic raspberry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the raspberry sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
