Chicken Breasts with Quick Wine Cherry Pan Sauce

We eat a lot of chicken over here. And because of that, I'm always looking for new ways to jazz it up.

I had some cherries in the freezer so I thought it would be a good opportunity to use them up with the chicken I had thawed. It was super easy, and the sauce has a natural sweetness that paired wonderfully with the chicken!
