Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 15 ounces canned peach slices in juice (no syrup)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the juice from the canned peaches into a measuring cup and set the peach slices aside. Add chicken broth to the juice to make a total of 1.5 cups of liquid. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the finely diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the seasoned stuffing mix, ensuring it is evenly coated with the butter and onion mixture.
Pour the reserved peach juice and chicken broth mixture into the pan. Stir well, allowing the stuffing to absorb the liquid. Remove the pan from heat.
Gently nestle the peach slices into the stuffing mixture, then place the seared chicken breasts on top.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the stuffing is golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your choice of side salad or steamed vegetables.
