Chocolate also seems to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels and contains small amounts of magnesium, potassium, protein, phosphorus, calcium and iron. The recipe is found in the February 2006 issues of Delicious Living. If you are not carb conscious, the chicken can be served on top of couscous or rice.

Steps:
- In a non-reactive bowl, mix the salt and water until dissolved. Add the chicken and allow to brine for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove the chicken from the brine, rinse under cool running water, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Pour the flour into a shallow dish and roll each breast into the flour, patting gently to lightly coat. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat; swirling to mix and cook until the butter begins to brown lightly.
- Lay the chicken breasts in pan and cook, undisturbed, until brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and cook on second side, undisturbed, an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and place in warm oven while making the sauce.
- Add the chicken stock to the skillet, scraping to release any brown bits. Boil until reduced to 1 cup. This should take 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the cherries and vinegar; boil until spoon scraped across the bottom of the pan leaves a visible path in sauce, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in chocolate and brandy.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but thaw them completely before using.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sauce from scorching. A nonstick pan is not recommended, as the sauce may not brown properly.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently. This will help to prevent the cherries from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Add the brandy and sugar to the saucepan once the cherries have softened. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until it has melted. This will help to add richness and flavor to the sauce.
- Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be used as a topping for desserts, such as ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or pork.
