Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 16 oz canned peach slices (in juice)
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned peach slices, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Set both the peaches and juice aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, reserved peach juice, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk together until smooth.
Step 3
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Stir to coat the chicken and vegetables.
Step 7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Step 8
Add the reserved peach slices to the skillet and cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Step 9
Serve the Polynesian Peach Chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
