I found this recipe in a magazine years and years ago. I believe it was my Self magazine, but I can’t find the original source of the recipe. It’s really easy and quick to make and all the flavors blend really well together. I like making it with the leftover jam I have when I make Raspberry Torte Bars. Leftovers are really nice in salads, too! This is a great recipe to make year round.
1. Round up the ingredients! You will need 1/2t. thyme, 1/2t. sage, 1/4t. salt, 1/4t. pepper, 4 chicken breasts, 1/4c. raspberry jam, 2T. orange juice, and 2T. wine vinegar (I had to substitute white vinegar and it was fine). I also just squeezed the juice from an orange since we don’t drink much juice so I didn’t want to make up a whole pitcher.
2. Combine the salt, pepper, thyme, and sage together and rub over chicken.
3. Place chicken in a 10 inch skillet and cook 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove from skillet.
4. Add the jam, orange juice, and vinegar to the skillet or small saucepan. Heat until boiling and boil for 2 minutes. Cook until desired consistency. This is not a thick sauce so it doesn’t really boil down. Ours was fairly runny, but the taste is so good with the chicken!
