Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 jalapenos seeded and diced
2 ripe peaches peeled and diced
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp cornstarch

Equipment

Large oven-safe skillet
Small mixing bowl
whisk
Instant-read thermometer

Method

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside
In the same skillet, add the diced jalapenos and peaches. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the honey mixture over the jalapenos and peaches. Stir well and bring to a simmer
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165 degrees F)
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken

Notes

Remove jalapeno seeds for milder heat. Fresh peaches work best but frozen work too. Chicken is done at 165 degrees F internal temperature. Let rest before serving to keep juices inside.
