Ingredients
  

  • 1½- 2 lb chicken breasts halved lengthwise
  • 5-6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cups fresh sweet cherries halved and pitted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb fresh or frozen

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. In a cast iron skillet or baking dish arrange chicken without it overlapping.
  • Place thyme springs under chicken breasts.
  • In a medium bowl, combine prepared cherries, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and rhubarb. Mix well and then pour over chicken evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Notes

Cooking times may vary a bit depending on size of chicken breasts. I used some thick chicken breasts and so cut them in half lengthwise which decreased cooking time.
