Ingredients:  

2 tsp olive oil

2 red onions, sliced thin

1 ½ tsp minced fresh or ½ tsp dried thyme

4 skinned, boneless chicken breasts

2/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves

4 tbsp balsamic vinegar

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method:

1. Heat oil in large pan over medium high heat. Sprinkle each side of chicken with equal parts of the thyme, salt and pepper. Add the chicken to pan.

2. Cook chicken about 5-8 minutes. When you turn it over, add the onions.

3. Continue cooking about 10 minutes, stirring up onions.  Remove chicken to a plate, reduce heat to medium-low,  add the vinegar, preserves, and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Stir constantly until the preserves melt.  Add the chicken back until it's just cooked through.
