Great timing. I just found a bag of dried cherries in the cupboard. I bought them not realizing that I'd have to remove the pits, so they've been neglected for a while. This gives me a good reason to start pitting.

I'm not sure this would work for dried cherries - they look like big raisins. But thanks for the tip.

Very yummy to look at. The fact that chicken is my favorite. I love to make this. I'd preparing the ingredients later for this so I could start as soon as possible. Just yum yum.
