Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 1 small jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Drizzle the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the chicken.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
While the chicken cooks, prepare the peach salsa. Dice the peaches, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces and place them in a medium bowl.
Step 8
Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat, if desired) and add them to the bowl.
Step 9
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa mixture, drizzle in the honey, and toss everything together until well combined.
Step 10
Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 11
Serve the chicken topped with a generous portion of peach salsa. Enjoy!
