Remove the chicken from the marinade. Transfer the marinade to a medium skillet.3. Bring the marinade to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, 12 to 15 minutes.4. Meanwhile, reduce the grill heat to medium and grill the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 7 to 9 minutes per side. Let the chicken cool slightly; serve with the sauce.Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 1. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.Tips: Be sure to measure frozen cherries while still frozen, then thaw. (Drain juice before using.) To pit a cherry, halve it with a paring knife then pry out the pit with the tip of the knife, or use a cherry pitter. To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)Notes: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalape?os packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they'll keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.A nonreactive pan?stainless steel, enamel-coated or glass?is best for acidic foods, such as lemon, to prevent the food from reacting with the pan. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor in acidic foods. Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TRILLIUM1204.
