# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Peach Jalapeno Sauce

05 - 2 large ripe peaches peeled pitted and diced
06 - 1 fresh jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

10 - 2 cloves garlic minced
11 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

→ Garnish

12 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley chopped
13 - ½ peach thinly sliced

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 - Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and jalapeno. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - Add diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes, until peaches soften and sauce begins to thicken.
05 - Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the top. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
06 - Remove from oven, let rest 2–3 minutes. Serve topped with extra sauce, fresh peach slices, and herbs.

# Expert Advice:

  • The sauce thickens into something you will want to put on everything
02 -
  • Peaches vary in sweetness so taste your sauce before baking and adjust honey if needed
  • An oven safe skillet is non negotiable here or you will have to transfer everything and lose those pan juices

  • Pat the chicken really dry before seasoning to get the best sear
  • If your peaches are stubborn to peel drop them in boiling water for 30 seconds then ice water and the skin slips right off
