Peach Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh peaches, sliced (or canned peaches in juice, drained)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (or fresh grated ginger)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
- Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Peach Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until combined and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the sliced peaches to the sauce. Let the peaches cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the peach sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the chicken absorb the flavors.
- Serve:
- Plate the chicken and pour the remaining peach sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Peach Chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or a light salad to complete the meal.
