Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 pieces ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering it loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced peaches, honey, and red chili flakes. Stir well and allow the peaches to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the white vinegar and chicken broth to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes or until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. For more heat, add an extra pinch of red chili flakes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the spicy peach sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 additional minutes to warm the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve hot. Pair with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
