Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2-3 large ripe peaches pitted and sliced
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A splash of chicken broth or water optional, to adjust the sauce

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 5-7 minutes per side, until well browned. Set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and cook the garlic for about 30 seconds.
  4. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and honey, then simmer 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the peach slices and herbs; simmer 3-4 minutes, until the sauce turns syrupy.
  6. Return the chicken to the sauce, cover and cook on low 6-8 minutes, until cooked through (165 °F / 74 °C at the thickest part). Spoon the glaze over the chicken and rest a few minutes before serving.
