Raspberry Chicken Adobo

A light version of this popular dish. This one will get rave reviews and presents very well. The recipe was served with sugar snap pea pods so those are included with the recipe as an option. I had never cooked with anise seeds and was very surprised at the result. I did substitute 1 t of ground ginger for the fresh ginger and was very pleased with the result. Enjoy!
