GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS IN RASPBERRY VINEGAR MARINADE
This recipe was adopted from the RecipeZaar account. After making this myself, I found that the addition of a couple of tablespoons of seedless raspberry jam to the basting liquid really added a nice flavor. Use in the last few minutes of broiling or grilling as the jam will burn.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal. They cook quickly and evenly, and the marinade can easily penetrate the meat.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you can, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Raspberry marinated chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade, made with fresh raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and herbs, infuses the chicken with a sweet and tangy flavor. The chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, baking, or pan-frying. Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
