Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium Vidalia onions (thinly sliced)
• 3 medium fresh peaches (sliced, with skin on)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Lightly dust them with flour.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the sliced Vidalia onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the peach slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the peaches are slightly softened.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey and balsamic vinegar over the onion and peach mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the onion and peach mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the top and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 11

Simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 12

Serve the chicken with the sauteed peaches and onions spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side of your choice.
