                     This is one of my favorite ways to serve chicken,  reports Robert Jost of Manitowac, Wisconsin.  My wife and I garnish it with fresh raspberries and sprigs of thyme from our garden.  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2-1/4 cups fresh raspberries  |  
                                                4 teaspoons sugar  |  
                                                1/4 cup apple juice  |  
                                                2 tablespoons red wine vinegar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon soy sauce  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon minced garlic  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon dried thyme  |  
                                                1 tablespoon cornstarch  |  
                                                1 tablespoon cold water  |  
                                                4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)  |  
                                                1 tablespoon canola oil  |  
                                                1 tablespoon butter  |  
                                                additional fresh raspberries, optional  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Place raspberries in a small bowl; sprinkle with sugar and mash. Let stand for 15 minutes; mash again. Strain, reserving juice; discard pulp and seeds. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry juice, apple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. 2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into raspberry juice mixture until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Keep warm. 3. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook until juices run clear. Serve with raspberry sauce. Garnish with additional raspberries if desired. Yield: 4 servings.                              |
