• 2 cups instant brown rice
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 skinless chicken thighs (about 8oz. each)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 package (12 oz.) frozen, pitted DOLE® Cherries
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and arrange in skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until lightly brown on one side.
3. Turn the chicken and reduce heat to medium. Add the cherries, cinnamon and honey. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered for 5 minutes longer until chicken is cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part measures 160°F. Transfer chicken to plate and continue cooking cherries until fruit is very soft and liquid coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
4. Serve chicken with rice topped with cherry mixture.
