Cherry-Tarragon Chicken Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup dried cherries
4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon orange rind, fresh, grated finely
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Bring orange juice and cherries to a boil in a small pan over medium-high heat, then drop heat, and allow to simmer until the liquid has reduced to 1/4 cup, at least 15 minutes or so (now is a good time to go chop up your chicken meat).
Allow the orange cherry mixture to cool slightly.
Combine chopped chicken with mayo, sour cream, tarragon, orange rind, and salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the cooled cherry mixture and toss to coat well.
Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
