Raspberry Chicken Sandwiches image

My husband loves grilling in the summertime, and this is one of my family's favorite grilled sandwiches. The recipe makes a delightful raspberry flavored barbecue sauce for the grilled chicken breasts. Of course you can substitute your favorite flavor of preserves. This is a Taste of Home recipe. After posting this recipe, I can proudly give credit to the wonderful chef who submitted this recipe to TOH - it's our own Chef Peacefulnightdove!
