    Dear Nee,
    I just saw that I have some chicken breasts in the freezer and thought what should I do with them. Now I do know what to do..I have your recipe! I think this is a delightful combination for the chicken. Love the cherry preserves with the cheese...sounds yummy and must smell so good cooking... Thanks for sharing..I love the green beans with the chicken as well and great choice of wine..Have a wonderful time with the family on this long weekend!

    What a creative idea, to combine chicken with cherry preserves and toasted pecans. I never would have thought of that...
