Combine the cherries, tomato sauce, molasses, vinegar, bourbon, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and cloves in a blender and puree until almost smooth. Sauce may be frozen or refrigerated at this stage.
To cook, brush the chicken breasts with half of the sauce. Spray a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and pre-heat it over a medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until it is charred and grill marks form, brushing with additional sauce if desired, 4-5 minutes per side. Serve drizzled with the remaining sauce.
