Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Jalapeno Peach Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, chopped jalapeno, honey, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Remove chicken from the skillet and let rest for 3 minutes.
Combine and Serve
- Pour the jalapeno peach sauce back into the skillet and warm it over low heat for 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat well.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
- Serve the Jalapeno Peach Chicken over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
