  1. Step 1) Combine cherries and vanilla extract in a small bowl; soak for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2) Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Step 3) Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts. Cut a pocket in the thickest part of each breast. Stuff about 1 to 2 tablespoons marinated cherries into each pocket reserving remaining cherries and vanilla for the sauce. Secure each pocket with a wooden pick to close. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
