# Needed Ingredients:

→ Raspberry Glaze

01 - 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
02 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Chicken and Garnishes

10 - 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
11 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
13 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
14 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
15 - 1 medium jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
16 - 1 cup fresh raspberries

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together raspberry preserves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
02 - Combine 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle and press seasoning blend evenly onto both sides of the chicken thighs.
03 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange chicken thighs in the pan in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until golden brown.
04 - Flip chicken thighs, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
06 - Add sliced jalapeño and prepared raspberry glaze to the skillet. Stir, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the glaze is bubbling and jalapeños are just softened.
07 - Add fresh raspberries to the skillet, gently stirring to coat them in the glaze while keeping the berries mostly intact.
08 - Return chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon glaze over each piece. Warm for about 1 minute until heated through. Serve immediately.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Use a digital thermometer to ensure chicken reaches at least 165°F for food safety. Handle jalapeños with gloves to prevent skin irritation.
