Ingredients

Scale
  • Peaches:
    • 2 yellow peaches, pitted and sliced
  • Peach Glaze:
    • 1/2 cup (160 g) peach preserves
    • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
    • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/8 tsp black pepper
    • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Chicken:
    • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp chili powder
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a medium bowl, mix the peach glaze ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
  • Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and chili powder. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs (in batches if necessary). Cook for 5 minutes, flip, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Cook Jalapeños and Peaches: In the same skillet, raise the heat back to medium and add the sliced jalapeños. Cook for 3 minutes. Then, add the sliced peaches and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the peaches have softened.
  • Combine with Peach Glaze: Pour the prepared peach glaze into the skillet, stirring to coat the peaches and jalapeños evenly.
  • Finish the Dish: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until everything is heated through.
  • Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
  • This dish pairs well with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
