Cherry Dijon Chicken

Submitted by Oolala

"From inmamaskitchen.com (cherry mustard chicken). I really liked this dish but my kids and DH, while they liked the chicken, weren't into the sauce- too much Dijon flavor for them. I used boneless, skinless thighs and served the sauce on the side."

Very, very good. The flavors go incredibly well together! We will make this any time cherries are in season.
