  • Instructions

    1. 1 Cook wehani rice, in unsalted water, according to package directions.
    2. 2 Combine flour with salt, pepper, thyme and oregano in a bag. Shake skinless chicken breasts in seasoned flour to coat all sides.
    3. 3 Heat oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick pan. Add chicken and brown. Continue cooking until juices run clear when pierced with a knife and the internal temperature of each chicken breast reaches 165°F (74°C).
    4. 4 Combine red wine vinegar, honey and white wine and pour over chicken in pan. Sprinkle with 2 cups (500 mL) of raspberries. Cover and cook for 90 seconds. Don't overcook as the berries dissolve.
    5. 5 Serve over cooked wehani rice. Pour sauce over top and garnish with ¼ cup (60 mL) of whole raspberries.
