I’m working with Driscoll’s to bring you this raspberry’licious recipe today. Visit them for more berry recipes, and enter their Sweetest Berry sweepstakes! There for a while, we ate black bean raspberry chipotle dip with a basket of chips almost every Friday night. Let’s backup: I lived outside Kansas City for 18 months a short while ago, and I was introduced to black bean dip laced with raspberry-chipotle sauce, topped with whipped cream cheese. If you’re from Kansas, you are screaming ‘So Long Saloon in Manhattan, Kansas!’ at the top of your lungs. Yep, it’s that restaurant I’m referring to. Dana summed it up best with her recipe for it. This is a riff on that dish, expanded into an entire dinner serving, because that’s how much I love the combination of smoky chipotle, sweet raspberries, and creamy cheese. This raspberry chipotle chicken is my love letter to Kansas. This 5-ingredient dinner for two has been on heavy rotation around here lately. You need: 2 chicken breasts, 2 packages of raspberries, canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and a can of black beans. You’ll also need salt, pepper, butter, and olive oil from your pantry, but those are a given, no?
Raspberry chipotle chicken steps:
First, make the raspberry chipotle sauce. Puree the raspberries with as many chipotles as you can handle. I started with 3, did a little taste test, and added 3 more. Seeds and all, baby.
Next, I poured the puree over the chicken to marinate. You can leave the chicken in this mixture for 1-24 hours. The longer the better, baby. I’m going to stop calling you baby now.
I used about ¾ of the raspberry sauce to marinate and baste the chicken as it cooked. I added the rest to the can of black beans while they warmed on the stove. You could save a little sauce for garnish too, if you like that, baby. I swear I’m done this time. But at least I made you an amazing 5-ingredient chicken dinner for two, ok? This raspberry chipotle chicken will go into your dinner rotation as soon as you take just one bite.
