RASPBERRY CHICKEN
Do you ever attend buffets for Mother’s Day or holidays?
We frequently take my mother-in-law to The Golf Clubhouse in our complex for the local buffet.
One dish they always serve is this Raspberry Chicken.
She loves both buffets and chicken and has sampled many different culinary recipes.
In fact a buffet is her favorite place to eat.
Not even when I prepare this chicken in my home does it beat her buffet preference.
This particular buffet though is her favorite.
It never fails to stand out from the crowd.
She talks about the moist and succulent chicken all year and looks forward to the next time time she can enjoy it.
Raspberry Chicken is delicious as well as easy,
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 8 cans 10.5 ounce cans chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups frozen cranberry raspberry juice concentrate
- 2 cups white wine
- 4 packages 12 ounce each frozen raspberries, divided
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, optional
- 8 chicken skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 scallion, chopped chopped
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Combine the chicken broth and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by 1/2, at least 15 minutes.
- Stir in the cranberry raspberry concentrate, white wine, and 2/3 of the raspberries.
- Return to a boil, and boil until there is about 4 cups of sauce remaining, about 30 minutes.
- Strain the sauce, and return it to the pan.
- Mix together the cornstarch and cold water; stir into the sauce.
- Cook over medium heat until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Place the flour and tarragon in a small paper sack. Shake to mix. Place chicken breasts in the bag, and coat completely.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add chicken, and cook until no longer pink, and the juices run clear.
- Drain off excess oil, and pour the raspberry sauce into the pan. It will boil up, and then settle.
- Turn the chicken to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining raspberries into the pan and cook until thawed.
- Add scallions, mix and serve.
Only taking about 15 minutes to setup the ingredients, the chicken will take about 45 minutes in the skillet
The chicken broth, juice and wine lend this chicken to present a taste even more unexpectedly than the presentation itself.
The addition of the small bit of flour and corn starch to the mixture help hold the sauce on the chicken breasts.
These types of foods that offer a twist to to the dish are the only recipes I make!
This Raspberry Chicken never fails me.
The moist and succulent chicken is covered in a raspberry sauce and cooked in a skillet for a delicious and unusual flavor.
Moms all over the map will enjoy this dish.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I never would have thought of raspberries, but this sounds delicious, Marilyn. Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJs!
I found that my fruit sauces are so good on chicken and hams. If you eat meat you have to try them. They are good in salad dressings too. I hope you had a wonderful Mothers Day!
This sounds amazing, Marilyn! Did you get a new plugin for your recipe cards? Looking sharp!
Thank you Julie! It is the same plugin. Originally there was a bunch of styling my security program wouldn’t allow me to access. I finally got that coded and now I can do a lot of things!! I am glad you like it. After everything so minimal I felt it might be too busy. Am I am loving how I can do my own post roundup at the end. Thanks for the feedback!!
I’ve made chicken with rhubarb – this sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
