Chicken Cutlets With Fresh Raspberries
"From the book Low-Fat Living by Dr. Robert Cooper. Be sure to use the freshest raspberries you can find, although frozen raspberries are a good substitute. For vegetarian version, substitute tempeh or tofu (drain the tofu well) and double the amount of vinaigrette."

4 1/2 stars... although that is probably because of my modifications. I made it veg by using a Quorn meatless chicken thing and it turned out rather dry -- they do that when they're not marinated beforehand, and I didn't even think of it until it was too late. The sauce itself was fabulous, and I will definitely try it with tofu as you suggest for a vegetarian version. I did decide, at the last second, to garnish it with fresh tarragon instead of parsley, and I think that was a great idea -- I would recommend that you all try it! Anyway, thanks for the great recipe, I will keep playing with it until I get it just the way I want it! -
Quick and easy plus I had everything in the house to make the dish - bonus. I only had 1T of raspberry vinegar and used balsamic for the rest. I will try it again with all raspberry vinegar. -
I thought this was great. Different and really nice. I only had balsamic vinegar and used that. I had a sparkling white and used that. I thought it needed a wee bit of sugar and put a little in. Really tasty. The sauce would be good on many things. I think I might even try it on yogurt. It would probably be nice served with turkey or pork as well. I had mustard dijon roasted potatoes with it and a glass of the same sparkling white. Very easy too. -
This chicken was quite different and we really enjoyed it!! I used raspberry vinegar and frozen raspberries , they were wonderful! Loved the touch of lemon from the garnish it made a lovely finish. I will be making this again, thanks for posting it!
