--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                    Boneless, skinless chicken
                       Breasts (approx 1 1/2 lbs)
  5       tb           Unsalted butter
    1/2   sm           Shallot, chopped
  2       tb           Pesto
    1/4   ts           Tarragon
  3       tb           Raspberry wine vinegar
  2       ts           Raspberry jam
  1       tb           Red wine
                       Salt and pepper
    1/4   c            Fresh raspberries
                       (optional)

 Cook the chicken on a grill or under a very hot broiler in the oven for
 about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness and the
 intensity of the heat. (The chicken can also be sauteed in a frying pan.)
 Set aside.
 In a large frying pan over moderately low heat, melt butter and saute
 shallot until translucent, but not browned.  Add pesto, tarragon,
 vinegar, jam and wine, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine
 well.
 Add the chicken and raspberries and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes,
 turning the chicken occasionally, to heat through and blend the flavors.
 Serve accompanied by pasta.
