You already know that chicken is a good lean source of protein but did you know that cherries provide many health benefits as well?

They are high in antioxidants which protect your body's cells from damage and  they are also high in potassium which is needed for proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs.  They contain vitamin C which is also a powerful antioxidant and vitamin K which helps maintain strong bones.

Of course, there are many other fruits and vegetables that provide the same health benefits, but cherries are in season right now, so they are at their peak.

Try pairing them with chicken by making this tasty Chili Cherry BBQ Sauce and slathering it on your favourite cuts of chicken while they sizzle on the grill.
