Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  4. Add sliced peaches, chicken broth, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the peach glaze. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add butter for a richer sauce, if desired. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, couscous, or a green salad.
  • You can substitute nectarines if peaches aren’t available.
