Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup coarse salt
4 cups water
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
