Cherry-Chipotle Grilled Chicken

By Newfie



1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted, if needed)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup cherry preserves
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Garnish: 3-4 green onions, chopped

Stir the cherries, broth, preserves, ketchup, vinegar, chipotle and thyme in a bowl. Add the chicken and marinate two hours to overnight.

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until no longer pink inside, 8-10 minutes per side. When I made this recipe, I only used two chicken breasts, as there were only two of us. So, I divided the marinade and used half for the raw chicken and half for the sauce. Mainly, this was because I had way too much marinade for just two chicken breasts.
