Michigan Chicken Recipe

[Rabid]

Does anyone have a recipe for "Michigan chicken"? I went on a retreat for women in my church earlier this year, and the hotel served Michigan chicken for dinner. It was boneless skinless chicken breasts in a delicious sauce with dried cherries. I'd love to be able to make that recipe at home.

I saved a recipe book for a long time from Michigan Dried Cherries. Could this be your recipe?

Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Michigan Dried Cherry Sauce

2 Whole boneless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Flatten chicken breasts to same thickness and saute for 4 minutes on each side.

Michigan Dried Cherry Sauce

1/2 C Butter
1/3 Cup Michigan Dried Cherries
1/4 C Whipping Cream
1/2 C Dry White Wine
1/8 Tsp Ground Cardamom

Process butter and cherries in a food processor until smooth. Chill until firm.
Combine wine and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to 1/3 cup. Wisk in dried cherry butter by tablespoon. (Says nothing about when to add the cardamom). Pour over chicken.

I will so laugh if this is the recipe. I have saved this little recipe insert for 15-20 years. There are some great recipes in it.

It certainly sounds like what they served at the retreat. I'm going to try it this weekend. (I'll have to get my food processor out of the box. I actually bought the food processor a couple of years ago and have never unpacked it.)

Thanks VERY much for the recipe!
