I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken breasts turned out dry and tough. The cherry barbecue sauce was good, but it couldn't save the chicken.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken breasts turned out great. The cherry barbecue sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just a personal preference.
