Description

This sweet and spicy dish features a delightful contrast of flavors with chicken, jalapeños, and raspberries, perfect for busy evenings.


Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1-2 jalapeños, diced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Combine raspberries, diced jalapeños, and honey in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the raspberry mixture over the chicken in the skillet once cooked through. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Notes

Consider using frozen raspberries if fresh ones are unavailable, but let them thaw before using. Always taste the sauce before serving to adjust sweetness or spiciness.
