Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.
This is crucial for ensuring the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, water, chopped cherries, and white sugar.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and place them in a baking dish.
Pour the maple glaze evenly over the chicken.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
This adds a fresh touch to your dish's presentation and flavor.
