Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the skinned, boneless chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes total.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping warm.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add chopped mushrooms and finely chopped garlic; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Remove skillet from heat momentarily.
  8. Stir in tomato paste and cornstarch, blending until smooth.
  9. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, returning skillet to heat.
  10. Cook sauce, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil and thickens.
  11. Reduce heat to low; whisk in sour cream one spoonful at a time to prevent curdling.
  12. Return chicken to the skillet and gently coat with sauce, heating through.
  13. Transfer chicken to a heat-proof serving platter.
  14. Add pitted cherries to the remaining sauce in the skillet and warm gently over low heat.
  15. Spoon the cherry sauce over the chicken.
  16. Place platter under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
