Chicken with Raspberries and Basil

Ever had chicken with raspberries? Trust me on this, berries and basil bring on the flavor in this dish.

Are you getting tired of me saying that basil goes with berries? I really don’t care. It is too true and too delicious. So here I go again. (And just so you know, I will be doing it one more time before our Basil Series is over).

Chicken with Raspberries and Basil

This recipe is for chicken breasts that are baked with raspberries, brie, and fresh basil leaves. Yeah, think of that baked brie kind of flavor situation going on all over your chicken. Then before serving, garnish with more fresh raspberries and lots of fresh basil. It’s killer.
