Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg

1 teaspoon finely shredded orange rind (optional)
1 1/2 cups red raspberries
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring raspberries, water, and honey to boiling; cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until raspberries begin to break up.

  • Cook the chicken, 2 pieces at a time, over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until almond coating is golden brown and chicken no longer is pink.
  • Turn chicken once halfway through cooking time.
  • Place chicken on a baking sheet; top each piece with a slice of Brie.
  • Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is softened.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the raspberry sauce was too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.
