Brandied Raspberry Chicken
"I have no idea where or how I got this. It has raspberries which are abundant in my yard so I may have come up with it myself."

ingredients
-
Sauce
- 1 1⁄2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3⁄4 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1⁄2 lb raspberries, frozen (thawed) or 1/2 lb raspberries, fresh
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 tablespoon almonds, toasted sliced
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
directions
-
Sauce :
- Cook all ingredients but brandy and cornstarch for 1/2 hour.
- Strain through sieve to eliminate raspberry seeds.
- Pour back into sauce pan.
- Blend cornstarch and brandy.
- Add to mixture and cook until thickened.
- You may add salt and pepper to taste at this point (personal preference).
- Turn temperature to low or if necessary cover and remove from heat.
- Brown chicken on both sides and then bake 10 minute in 350% oven or until juices run clear.
- Serve with sauce drizzled over chicken. Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds.
- **there should be enough sauce depending on how much you like on your chicken to serve up to 8, however it definitely serves 6.
- ***I like to serve this with rice and place the extra sauce in a serving dish to pass around if anyone wants to put it on their rice. If doing this I would suggest you make it with 6 chicken breasts not 8.

Except for adding a bit more cornstarch & almond, I followed the recipe step by step, & the resulting chicken dish was REALLY, REALLY great ~ the taste of the raspberries here was very different for me, & was OUTSTANDING! Well worth keeping & making again! Many thanks to the Chef at Heart! -
This was very tasty. The sauce never quite got thick - I think it needed more cornstarch. But the taste was great and went excellent with the recipe #138654 I served on the side. Thanks for the recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi,
I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party.
Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family.
My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them.
FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
