I have seen this dish before with Duck, but the family not being big Duck eaters I use Chicken. Its so delicious, very easy and very colourful. Cherries must be pitted and I use black cherries. Ingredients:
8 chicken breasts |
dark soy sauce |
8 slices lemons (sliced thinly) |
ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
4 tablespoons soft brown sugar |
2 tablespoons cornflour |
1 (425 g) can pitted cherries |
1 cup chicken stock |
1 tablespoon grated orange rind |
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind |
1/2 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. CHICKEN~.
2. Brush the chicken with the soy sauce.
3. Place a slice of lemon on each breast and season with the pepper. Line a tray with foil and grill chicken (b.b.q. works well also) until chicken is tender and serve the chicken with the sour cherry sauce.
4. SAUCE~.
5. *Drain the pitted black cherries and reserve the juice.
6. Place vinegar and sugar in a saucepan, bring to boil, and cook stirring constantly until mixture caramelizes.
7. Blend the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cherry liquid, and put the left over juice into the saucepan with the stock, rinds juices, cherries and liquid, cook another 3 minutes.
8. Add cornflour paste stirring until combined (with no lumps) and thickened.
