Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Zinfandel wine
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 peaches ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Pour in the Zinfandel wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let the liquid simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey until fully combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to soften the peaches and allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the chicken and peaches from the skillet and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
