Products needed:

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon The Olive Scene Harissa Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • ½ cup chopped red onion or shallots

  • 1½ teaspoon minced fresh or ½ teaspoon dried thyme, or za’atar seasoning (Available at The Olive Scene)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper, divided

  • 4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves or cutlets

  • 1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves

  • 3 tablespoons The Olive Scene Wild Raspberry White Balsamic Vinegar

  1. Combine thyme, or za’atar if using, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
