Peach Chicken {with Balsamic}
A deliciously flavorful easy summer chicken recipe! Chicken breasts are pan seared and finished with a sweet and tangy balsamic peach sauce.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced (about 3/4 cup)
- 4 (5 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast tenderloins
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 cups sliced firm but ripe peaches (about 2 medium)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 3 minutes then push far to the side.
- Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 2 1/2 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from skillet and transfer to a plate, while leaving oil and onions in skillet (if you don't have much oil left you can add another 1/2 Tbsp). Add garlic to skillet and saute 20 seconds.
- Add balsamic vinegar and cook and stir until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in honey then add in peaches and tomatoes and toss, season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to skillet, nestling between peaches and tomatoes, cover skillet with lid, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until chicken has cooked through (it should register 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer), about 6 - 9 minutes.
- Top with fresh basil and serve warm.
