This dish is so wonderful! I mean, you use one skillet, it doesn't take long to make (well, if you can chop onions fast or have a food processor or a Slap Chop hahaha), raspberry and balsamic are always good together, and just....it is super delicious. I also didn't have red onion, so I used a white. I can't wait to make this for company!

Well, I decided to take my own suggestion and make this with pork medallions - thickish slices of pork tenderloin that I flattened with a mallet. I used bilberry jam and a yellow onion (because I had no red), and added about 1/3 c. broth to make more of a sauce. As before, I returned the sauted meat to the pan and cooked together briefly with the sauce. Extremely well received.

This chicken is one of the best dishes I have ever made from Zaar & that is saying A LOT! And even better - it is one of the easiest recipes I have tried. I used regular onions & cherry jam, because that was what I had on hand. Otherwise I followed the recipe precisely. The balsamic vinegar balanced the sweetness of the jam and the spices are just right. Even my husband complimented the meal - and that is unusual. I served this with roasted asparagus, French bread & some wine. Thanks, KelBel, I look forward to trying this with other flavors of jam.
