Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the raspberry marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grate or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Slice the chicken breasts and serve with your favorite side dishes or over a bed of greens for a light and refreshing salad. Enjoy!
