Ingredients

Directions

  1. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw and set aside. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the orange peel, orange juice, chicken bouillon granules, nutmeg, and pepper.
  3. Bring the liquid mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid.
  5. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Turn the chicken pieces over to ensure even cooking, cover, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside.
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a warm plate, keeping it covered to stay warm.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  9. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the remaining liquid in the skillet, stirring constantly.
  10. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. Gently stir in the raspberries and heat through for just 30 seconds, taking care not to mash the berries.
  12. Spoon the warm raspberry sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.
