This is a recipe for Chicken Cutlets with Raspberries from the Silver Palate Cookbook. It uses low fat chicken breast cutlets and is simply topped with an easy mouthwatering raspberry sauce flavored with raspberry vinegar. A light dusting of flour keeps the chicken breast moist and tender as it cooks. If you’re looking for simple healthy chicken dinner recipes, this could become your go-to.
This chicken was a spur of the moment dinner decision after browsing through one of my favorite cookbooks, The Silver Palate.
We’re big fan of chicken cutlets and a couple of our favorite recipes are Chicken Cutlets with Cherry Tomato Cumin Vinaigrette. and Chicken Cutlets with Jalapeno Orange Sauce and Black Beans.
And if you’re looking for super easy, I found this recipe over at Fifteen Spatulas for 15 minute Parmesan Crusted Chicken Cutlets. Chicken Cutlets are easier to cook than larger full chicken breasts and easier to to keep tender and moist.
Both Bob and I gave this recipe a big thumbs up and it will become a regular recipe in our dinner rotation plan. It’s easier than easy and big on the flavor scale.
My photo shows this served with sauteed Asparagus spears with orange pistachio sauce. Note to self, these chicken cutlets would also be a perfect pairing for Grilled Potatoes with Basil Mustard Vinaigrette, or one of our favorite side dishes, Mediterranean Oven Roasted Broccoli.

They are simply boneless skinless chicken breasts that are sliced horizontally and then pounded or pressed to an even thickness. Cutting them this way makes them thin and very easy to season and cook.

Hi John. I agree, your description is perfect.
It’s been a while since I opened toy Silver Palate cookbook. This recipe looks delicious and so easy to make. Pinned!
I don’t use it as ofter an I should, but open it when I need inspiration. 🙂
I love my Silver Palate cookbooks! I’m sure I’ve made this recipe—but it may have been pre-blogging. Your gorgeous photos have motivated me to make this again. Pinning!
You have made this recipe Liz. When I googled it out of interest to see the results, your blog was in the returns. The recipe you featured had cream in it, as did some of the others. I only have two of their cookbooks, so the cream version must be in one I don’t have.
What a gorgeous plate of food! This is a perfect summer plate IMO. Never would have thought of saucing chicken with raspberries, but now that you mention it, it sounds really, really, good! Lovely plating.
Thank you MJ. And with all the Burritos I’ve been testing for a blog post, I really needed something healthy and fresh. 🙂
Such a pretty dish, perfect when having guests over for dinner.
Thank you so much Karen. And I agree about serving this for guests. Pretty and very easy.
Wow! Your presentation is spectacular.
