Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 pieces fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally to create cutlets. If the cutlets are uneven in thickness, gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Once hot, sear the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Pit and slice the peaches into wedges. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the peaches and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Add the chicken stock, honey, fresh thyme, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce and peaches over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to rewarm the chicken and allow it to soak up the flavors.
Serve the peaches chicken cutlets warm, garnished with an extra sprinkle of thyme if desired. Pair with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
