Erin’s Easy Eats

I stole this recipe from my newlywed friend Kiija over at Pleasant Eats who stole it from Cooking Light.  I did make a few adaptations, and this recipe turned out surprisingly well.  We served it up with some peas and pearl onions, and some oven roasted potatoes (with onion soup mix on top.  Onions all around!  No kissing tonight… bet that’s not going on over at the Pleasant household…)

Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into bite sized pieces
• 1/2 c. seedless raspberry jam
• 1 Tbs each of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar
• 1/8 tsp ground ginger (or 1/2 tsp fresh, but I didn’t have any)
• 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary

Sautee onion over medium high heat  with a little olive oil for 6 minutes, or until they start to turn golden.  Add chicken and cook through (about 8 minutes.)  Remove and keep warm.  Add remaining ingredients to pan and whisk until blended.  Cook 3 minutes or until thickened.  Add back chicken and onion and continue cooking 3 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.
