Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the honey, chopped rosemary, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the peach mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce slightly for an additional 2-3 minutes, if desired.
Transfer the chicken to serving plates, spooning the peaches and sauce over the top. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
