Raspberry Glaze Chicken

I just tried this recipe tonight, and it was so easy and quite yummy!

1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken; cut into 4 pieces
2 T. butter or margarine
1/2 c. Diet Mountain Dew, divided
1/4 c. sugarless raspberry preserve

Melt the butter in large skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides. Turn down heat.

Reserve 1 T. of Diet Mountain Dew and pour the rest of the soda over the chicken. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.

Stir in the 1 T. of soda with the raspberry preserve and pour over the chicken and simmer until warmed.

I served it with brown rice, steamed carrots, corn on the cob and a side dish of fresh raspberries. YUM!
