Cherry Glazed Chicken

So I wanted to do this with duck, but go ahead and find any fresh in my area right now... Publix did however have a couple beautiful chicken breasts!

2 bone-in chicken breasts

1 lb fresh cherries

2 stems fresh rosemary

2 Tbsp brandy

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 400f. Get an oven safe pan nice and hot with a few spoons worth of olive oil. Salt and pepper the chicken and sear the skin side for a few minutes until golden brown, then place in the oven. Halve and pit the cherries and put in a sauce pot. Add a few table spoons of water and start to simmer. Add in the brandy, and (safety alert! Don't be a dummy and burn yourself or your house down, k??) light it.. Just because it's cool, frankly... Add in the rosemary and simmer covered for 10-20 minutes. Remove the rosemary and use either a wand blender, food processor, or even a potato masher to macerate it all together. Baste the chicken with the sauce a few times before removing from the oven. Once the chicken reaches proper temperature, remove from the oven and allow to rest. Serve the remaining cherry sauce on the side. I served the chicken with steamed green beans and cauliflower mash. Technically two veg, but the cauliflower had enough butter and milk in it to not count as a vegetable anymore! Hope you enjoy!

Dinner is served!

Cherries gettin' all saucy!
