Savory Chicken in Raspberry Cream Sauce
"If I have one, this is my “signature dish”. Had something similar as a bridal luncheon once and over the years it's evolved to be what it is now, a savory, slightly sweet delight to tickle your palate. I've served it to many guests over the years, all with rave reviews. I usually pair it with green beans almandine and rice flavored with chicken stock. The rice soaks up the extra raspberry cream sauce and is delightful."

I can say without exaggeration that this is one of the best - possibly the best - sauces I've had for chicken. Wonderfully complex flavors, with just a hint of sweetness. I loved the combo of tomato and blackberry (I subbed blackberry jam for the raspberry), and it was so nice and creamy. Sheer perfection! I think the sauce would go really well with pork too, so I may try that at some point. Reviewed for PAC. -
Enjoyed this recipe very much. I did half the amounts, since there were only the two of us. I wish I had added the full amount of jam, because, although it was there, I didn't get the full flavor of the raspberry taste. Next time I will add the entire amount. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag. :) -
I think I've died and gone to raspberry heaven. The raspberry sauce is absolutely, positively wonderful. It's so creamy, and the taste is a perfect blend of not too sweet but not too tart. And it's perfect paired here with moist and tender chicken breasts. It's definitely a "keeper" that will be served often in my home. I made it for PAC Fall '08. -
A wonderfully flavoursome, super-quick to prepare meal which makes it a great midweek recipe but a dish that I'd certainly be equally happy serving to guests when again ease of preparation is much appreciated. We love rasberries which is what drew me to this recipe. I was going to use a tomato-based pasta sauce but - on the whim of the moment which often dictate what I do in the kitchen - I decided instead to add some frozen raspberries. Because I'd used these, I then halved the amount of raspberry jam. I used a low-fat cream, which was creamy enough for our tastes. We just loved the contrast between the tartness of the raspberries with the more savoury flavours. I probably should have tried the tomato flavour as I cannot even imagine what that would have been like but we SO loved the raspberries in this that I doubt I'll ever make this any way other than the way we so enjoyed it tonight served with Recipe #308090. I can well understand why your guests so enjoy this recipe, Krista! Thank you so much for sharing it. Made for PRMR. -
This is definitely a delicious chicken recipe. The sauce is wonderful, we served it with a flavored rice and a salad. Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag game.
