Raspberry Balsamic Chicken

So today I have put the crock pot away! I did, however, do 100% of the prep work for dinner tonight while the kids were resting. This recipe is weight watchers friendly and it sounds delicious! Look for comments after to hear how it went!

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup red onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
4 (4-6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over med-high heat, add onion and saute for 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt over chicken.
3. Add chicken to pan, saute 6 minutes on each side.
4. Remove chicken from pan, and keep warm.
5. Reduce heat to medium, add 1/4 teaspoon salt, preserves, vinegar and pepper to pan, stirring until preserves melt.
6. To serve: Spoon sauce over chicken and serve immediately OR return chicken to pan and coat chicken evenly, serve immediately.

  1. So yummy! We ended up serving this with quinoa which clearly needed some extra seasoning, but the chicken itself was fabulous! The sauce also added some great flavour to the quinoa, as I am sure it would do to rice as well!

    Highly recommended
