CHERRY CHICKEN
Steps:
- About an hour before you start the chicken, halve and de-pit about 15-20 dark cherries, placing them in a bowl. Set aside. In a pot, heat about 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water, mixing the whole time. When the water start to boil, remove from heat and pour into the bowl of halved and pitted cherries. Add a spritz of lemon juice. Let cool, then taste. If it's too sour, add more sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, until it's to your taste preferences. Let sit. After your cherries have been sitting for about 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 350F. In a bowl, mix about 1/4cup of flour with salt and pepper (to taste). Take the chicken breast and coat it in the flour mixture, then put in a foil-lined pan. Bake for 30 minutes, flip, and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. After you flip the chicken but while it is still baking, remove about 5TSBP of the liquid in the cherries and set it into a small bowl or sauce dish. Dissolve about 1 1/2TSBP corn starch in this and set aside. In a small round skillet (I used a 6" skillet), put heat 2TSBP vegetable oil. Put the first chicken breast in the heated oil. It will sizzle, so be careful! After about a minute, flip it. After another 30 seconds, add in half of the cherry mix. Let it continue to sizzle, then drizzle in half of the cherry sauce-corn starch mix over the chicken. Once the cherries look similar to cherry preserves, take the chicken out of the pan and set on a plate. Spoon the cherries out of the pan ontop of the chicken, then repeat this process with the second piece of chicken (do NOT add more oil, there should be enough left in the pan!) Cut the chicken breasts in half and enjoy!
