Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Zinfandel wine
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 peaches ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 5
Pour in the Zinfandel wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let the liquid simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey until fully combined.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to soften the peaches and allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Remove the chicken and peaches from the skillet and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
