• 3-¼ cups chicken stock, divided • 1-½ cups uncooked basmati rice • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) • ½ teaspoon sea salt • ¼ teaspoon pepper • 1-½ teaspoons olive oil • ½ cup finely chopped sweet onion (about 1 small) • 3 tablespoons butter, divided • 1 garlic clove, minced • ¾ cup dried tart cherries • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar • 3 tablespoons tawny port wine • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard • ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
