Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 pieces peaches, sliced
• 2 pieces apples, sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in the skillet and add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.

Step 6

Add the sliced peaches and apples to the skillet, cooking until they are softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Drizzle honey and lemon juice over the fruit, then stir to coat evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the fruit for added fragrance and flavor.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the fruit. Cover and let everything simmer together for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. Plate the chicken and top with the caramelized fruit mixture.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
