- 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)

- 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.

- 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.

Then the mushrooms are cooked down in a savory mixture of chicken broth, crumbled thyme, and yes, more balsamic vinegar. Serve with a mixed green salad or blanched green veggies alongside to round out the meal as a delicious dinner.

Tips:
- For a more flavorful dish, use a high-quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a complex flavor with hints of sweetness, acidity, and fruitiness.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, the flavor of the dish will be slightly different.
- You can use any type of chicken for this recipe, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the easiest to work with.
- If you're using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, don't overcook it. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, to the chicken before cooking for an extra burst of flavor.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can simmer the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth for a few minutes until it reduces.
