To create this Balsamic Raspberry Garlic Chicken, mix these wonderful flavors together, pile mixture all over the top of your chicken and bake!
Balsamic Raspberry Garlic Chicken is a long standing family favorite. I love recipes like this. Mix all of these wonderful flavors together. Stir, dump mixture all over the top of your chicken and bake! Recipes do not get any easier than that! I wish more were!
I always use raspberry jam for this Balsamic Raspberry Garlic Chicken recipe and the full ½ of a cup. My friend and her family use raspberry jelly because they don’t like the seeds that you find in the raspberry jam! The choice is up to you!
We love raspberries and luckily we end up with so many from our bushes that we get to use them in so many things. I find raspberries work beautifully with chicken and we have two other recipes besides this Balsamic Raspberry Garlic Chicken recipe that you should have a look at. All are fabulous in my opinion! You will have to let me know what you think!

How to make Balsamic Raspberry Garlic Chicken
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 13×9 pan with tinfoil lightly coated with cooking spray.
Place chicken, as evenly spaced as possible, in your prepared baking pan and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, combine jam, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, minced shallots or onions and garlic. Set aside.
Pour jam mixture evenly over top of all of your chicken.
Cover with tinfoil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove pan from oven. Discard tinfoil. Spoon or baste mixture over chicken to coat again as evenly as possible.
Bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes.
Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts.
We even baste one last time before removing chicken from the oven and broil for a minute or two for a beautiful finish on top. Enjoy!

Notes
I love this marinade on pork
I bet it would be delicious! I’m going to have to try that myself! Thank you so much for the suggestion! Take care. Karin
Can it be done with bone in chicken thighs?
I don’t see why not. I bet it will be delicious! You will have to adjust your cooking time of course. Otherwise I would love to hear what you thought once you try it if that is not too much to ask. Take care and all the best. Karin
Sounds delicious! Going to try this tomorrow. Just curious what side dish would recommend with it?
I am so excited for you to try this recipe. It is one of our favorites. Please let us know what you think after you make it. That being said. We have served this chicken on top of a salad with goat cheese, pecans, cucumbers etc. We have served it with rice with some of the glaze on top and your favorite vegetable. Some ideas for veggies are our sweet balsamic green beans or our sweet and sour green beans or our balsamic roasted carrots and onions or our garlic butter carrots. I have to ask which vegetables are you thinking about because I can suggest a lot of things. What do you like? Please let me know. Thanks and take care. Talk soon. Karin
This looks really good. I’m thinking of trying it with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce instead of raspberry jam. Your thoughts?
Raspberry chipotle sauce might work really well. The flavor would be awesome. I am going to try it myself. I worry about the balsamic and chipotle together. I would probably reduce the amount of balsamic and add it gradually when I am combining everything. See how it tastes before adding it to the chicken. What a great idea. Are you going to try it? I don’t have any raspberry chipotle sauce on hand or all the ingredients to make some right now. Do you? I am so excited to try this. Maybe if it works out you would be ok letting me post it on this site? Regardless thank you for the suggestion. Please let me know what you think and if you try it how it goes. I think we could turn this into a fabulous recipe! Have a great night. All the best. Karin. Thanks again. You made my night!☺️
I made this recipe last night for dinner and it was terrific. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs since that’s what we prefer and served it with steamed asparagus and a baked sweet potato. Also, I used the Penzey’s Raspberry Enlightenment for the jam. My only regret is that there weren’t any leftovers!
Absolutely a keeper and I’ve added it to my recipe library. Thanks!
You are welcome. I am so glad you enjoyed it! I am going to have to make the recipe with thighs myself! Thank you so much for letting me know. You made my day! Hopefully you find some other recipes on this site or coming up that you enjoy making as well. Again thank you so much for letting me know. Take care and all the best. Karin
