Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces ripe peaches
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the peaches into wedges and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by adding the balsamic vinegar and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the honey. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Arrange the peach slices around the chicken.
Step 8
Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and scatter fresh basil leaves over the chicken and peaches.
Step 10
Serve the chicken with peaches and sauce spooned over the top. Pair with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
