How to Make Black Bing Cherry Chicken

  1. Marinate 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1/2 cup Italian dressing for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the marinated chicken in a shallow baking pan, skin-side up (if using bone-in, skin-on chicken). Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade during the first 30 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken is baking, prepare the cherry sauce. In a small saucepan, melt 1 (12-ounce) jar of black bing cherry pie filling over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate and 1/4 cup water until smooth and heated through.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the cherry sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  5. Serve the Black Bing Cherry Chicken immediately over cooked brown rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions (optional).
