This was delicious and it seemed like such a fancy dish! I used regular raspberry preserves because that is what I had no hand, but next time I would definitely use seedless. I also used yellow onion instead of red onion. I served this with white rice and broccoli. Thank you for posting, I will make this again!

Wow, what a GREAT taste! I used sugar-free raspberry preserves. My only suggestion would be to flatten out your chicken to an even thickness, so it cooks evenly. Delish, thanks!
