Chicken with Cherry Pineapple Salsa

This is a relatively inexpensive, easy to prepare dish that also happens to be an excellent diabetic meal. This is becoming a 'go to' dish for me. I keep the dried cherries and pineapple chunks in stock as a pantry item all the time now. Serves 4 and takes about a half hour to make.

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 8oz. can unsweetened pineapple chunks
1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce
1/2 cup dried cherries
2 green onions, sliced

Directions:
1. Sprinkle garlic salt and ginger over chicken.
2. Brown chicken in oil, in a large non-stick skillet.
3. Drain pineapple, saving 1/4 cup of the juice in reserve.
4. In a small bowl, combine reserved juice, sauce, and cherries; pour over chicken.
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning once, 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170 degrees internal temperature.
6. Stir in pineapple and onions, heat through.
7. Serve over rice or with salad or veggies on the side.
