I made this tonight for my girlfriend's birthday dinner. The chicken turned out moist and delicious! The brie gave it that extra flavor to bring it to a whole 5 stars. We loved the raspberry sauce (and even used half the honey)! Very, very good. We will be making this again. It's also a nice, easy dish to impress guests with. Thanks, Alijen!

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
