Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, chicken broth, honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the cherries have softened and the glaze has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.

    Season the Chicken: While the glaze simmers, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Combine Chicken and Glaze: In the same skillet, pour the prepared cherry glaze over the cooked chicken. Ensure the chicken breasts are fully coated. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle more cherry glaze on top. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm with sides of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
