Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the honey and balsamic vinegar, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and combine all the flavors.
Add the sliced peaches and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the peach mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat.
Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Peachy Chicken warm, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
