Very Berry chicken recipe is wonderful option for your table. A delicious chicken with raspberry sauce which can be doubled for your family. This is an easy recipe for your collection. I particularly like it in the summer time when fresh raspberries are in season.
In this recipe you will be cutting the chicken breasts into fillets. This keeps the chicken thinner and consequently helps the chicken absorb the flavor of the sauce. It also helps reduce the cooking time.
This recipe uses boneless skinless chicken and fresh raspberries which makes it a healthy choice for your family.
Serve with ratatouille, a recipe can be found here.
Add a cucumber salad with dill to the meal.
Very berry chicken is a wonderful meal that will accompany many different dishes and provide your family with a healthy dinner.
