Ingredients

• 

1 lb (500 g) boneless skinless chicken breast

• 

¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper

• 

3 tbsp (50 mL) all-purpose flour (approx)

• 

2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, divided

• 

½ cup (125 mL) finely chopped shallots

• 

1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh rosemary

• 

¾ cup (175 mL) dry white wine

• 

1/3 cup (75 mL) orange marmalade

• 

2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard

• 

2 cups (500 mL) sour or sweet cherries, pitted and halved

Preparation

Flatten chicken to 1/2-in (1-cm) thickness using a mallet; season with salt and pepper, dredge with enough flour to coat. Discard remaining flour. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side; remove from pan.

Add remaining butter to pan. Stir in shallots and rosemary; sauté for 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in wine, marmalade and mustard. Return chicken to pan. Add cherries and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Serve cherry sauce spooned over chicken.

Makes 4 servings.
