Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 pieces ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups bourbon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cut the peaches into halves, remove the pits, and then slice each half into wedges.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the peach slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and slightly softened. Remove the peaches from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the bourbon into the skillet. Carefully stir and cook for about 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens into a glaze.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the bourbon glaze over them. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, occasionally basting the chicken with the glaze.
Add the caramelized peaches back to the skillet, arranging them around the chicken. Gently stir or spoon some glaze over the peaches.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve the chicken and peaches warm with your preferred side dish.
