The flavors are amazing. I even make it for company. It looks pretty and is so tasty! I will dredge the chicken in flour, salt, and pepper before I cook it. It adds a bit more to it.

This was AWESOME!!! The only thing I did different from the recipe was mix the cherry preserves and allspice together a couple hours ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend together. This is my new favorite recipe! I can't wait to try the topping on pork tenderloin or pork chops!

Very good. Always looking for different ways to do chicken. I fried the chicken; think it would be even better grilled or baked.

This is a wonderful easy dinner party meal. I served with wild rice and broccoli and impressed my guests. They all took home the recipe. The red cherry preserves over the chicken makes a very pretty setting for a party.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. You can't beat the ease of preparation! The flavor is nice, it's sweet and spicy. I'll definitely make this again.
