Asparagus and Herbed Chicken Pasta

I know that asparagus isn't even close to being in season, but it was a great price at Walmart and they were nice looking too, so I decided to get them. This dish is kind of heavy for the summer, but the cherries help lighten it up. The cherries are great in this dish - their sweet and tangy flavor cut through the earthy sauce on the pasta and chicken. This dish is nice enough to entertain with. You can find the recipe here.
