Raspberry Chicken & A New Cookbook

    I've been doing this blog for months, and I have finally hit a point where there's only 2 or 3 recipes left in each book I want to try, so I have mixed in a new cookbook!
    I watch Trisha Yearwood's Food Network cooking show every Saturday morning and jumped at picking up Trisha's Table when I came across it.
    This dish stood out to me. A savory chicken dish with a dash of fruit.

Ingredients
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
    Salt and pepper
    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1/4 cup of olive oil
    1 large shallot, thinly sliced
    4 garlic cloves, chopped
    1/2 cup of white wine
    1 cup of chicken stock
    6 ounces of mushrooms
    1 cup of raspberries
    2 tbs of salted butter
    1 tsp of lemon zest
    1 tbs of balsamic vinegar

Directions
   Season chicken with salt and pepper.
   Put flour in a shallow bowl and dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil in medium heat until it simmers.
   Add the chicken and sear until slightly brown, about 3 minutes a side.
   Remove the chicken from the skillet.
   Add the shallot and garlic to the same pan and cook for about 1 minute.
   Add the wine and chicken stock and cook until slightly reduces, about 10 minutes.
   Add the mushrooms , and reduce heat to low.
   Return chicken to skillet, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
   Add raspberries, lemon zest, butter and balsamic.
  Once butter is melted, serve.

Changes I made!
   I didn't check my pantry accurately and used white balsamic vinegar instead of regular, but this dish was still amazing.


This recipe is from Trisha's Table.
