Well Inez, I could have sworn I had some raspberry jam in the frige; I guess someone ate it!! No matter I used some apricot jam instead and this chicken was delicious!!! Love shallots and the balsamic vinegar kind of gave a sweet and sour flavour. We will be making this again, next time I'll be sure I have raspberry jam around. Thanks for sharing.

I have tried this recipe with jam and fresh raspberries and I recommend the later. I add 1 tsp of sugar and seperate the seeds with a sieve(sp?). Very tasty.

This is almost the exact recipe I use, the only difference is that I add thyme to the chicken. This is so easy to prepare and is very impressive. People always ask for the recipe!

Really enjoyed this. It was so easy and I had everything I needed. Hubby liked it so well he cleaned up all the extra sauce.
