CHICKEN WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Chicken with Raspberry Sauce image

This tender marinated chicken gets a hint of sweetness when drizzled with a fruity sauce. I strain the mashed raspberries since our kids don't like the seeds. It's always a hit with rice pilaf and a salad. -Amy Ammann of Long Valley, New Jersey
