1) For cherry rice: Prepare the rice mix according to package directions. Stir walnuts and 1/2 cup of the cherries into the cooked rice. Set aside.

4) Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place breast halves, boned side up, between two pieces of clear plastic wrap. Working from the center to the edges, pound the breasts lightly with the flat side fo a meat mallet to 1/8" thickness. Remove the plastic wrap; sprinkle chicken lightly with some salt.

5)Place about 1/2 cup of the rice mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Gather the corners of the chicken breasts to the center over rice mixture to for a ball shape. If necessary, secure with toothpicks. Place, seam side down, in a greased shallow baking pan.
