Chicken Breasts With Citrus Cherry Sauce image

The original of this recipe was found in the Dec/Jan 2011 Taste of Home Healthy Cooking magazine, & with a couple of tweaks, I had what I wanted! Cooking time depends on the amount of chicken that can be cooked at the same time. The cooking time here is figured for 2 batches.
