Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups peaches, diced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté jalapeño for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. Place seasoned chicken in a baking dish and pour the peach glaze over it.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Spoon additional glaze over chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking, if desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor.
  • Marinate chicken for extra flavor.
  • Grilling imparts a smoky taste.
  • Pairs well with quinoa, couscous, or polenta.
  • Glaze can be made ahead and stored.
  • Substitute peaches with nectarines or apricots.
  • Adjust jalapeño amounts for desired heat, removing seeds and membranes to reduce spice.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts.
  • Serve with slaw, corn on the cob, or pasta salad.
  • Can be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
