Categories     Main Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 - 2 lbs chicken breast
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1-2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 small onion (diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 medium jalapeño (minced)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup raspberry jam (no added sugar)
2 tablespoons water
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • While the oil is heating up, sprinkle the salt, pepper, and marjoram onto each side of the chicken breasts.
  • Place the chicken into the hot skillet and cook until no longer pink - about 8 minutes on each side. (I like to use my Thermoworks Instant Read Thermometer to check doneness. When it reads 165℉ it's cooked through)
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  • Add in the onion to the pan and cook until translucent, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. It's Okay to add another tablespoon of oil into the pan if needed.
  • Once the onion is translucent, add the jalepeño and garlic and sauté for 3 more minutes.
  • Turn the heat to low, and add in the balsamic vinegar, water, and raspberry jam.
  • Gently stir the mixture until the raspberry jam has melted down and has formed a sauce with the vinegar.
  • Serve over chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy raspberries, and use raw almonds that are free of any rancidity.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the chicken, make sure to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of fry, and it won't get as crispy.
  • Use a light hand with the salt. Raspberry sauce can be quite sweet, so you don't want to add too much salt to the chicken. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper before cooking, and then adjust the seasoning to taste once it's cooked.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. Crunchy almond raspberry chicken is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the chicken and sauce separately and then reheat them together just before serving.

Conclusion:

Crunchy almond raspberry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
