This is a simple but elegant meal when you need something to serve unexpected company. One of my husband's favorites. You can use cherry, orange or raspberry preserves, or just try something different. Ingredients:
4 -6 chicken breasts (with or without skin, but i prefer skin) |
1 (12 ounce) jar cherry preserves |
2 -3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 -3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar |
adobo seasoning (instead of adobe you can mix garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt and pepper to taste) |
Directions:
1. Wash chicken and and season with herbs. place in pan with skin side up.
2. Mix preserves with the vinegar to make a semi-thick glaze.

5. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
