Ingredients
- 2, boneless, skinless (about 6 oz each) chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium, peeled and diced fresh peaches
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken and keep warm.
- Step 3: In the same skillet over medium heat, add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add 2 diced medium peaches, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, and 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes. Cook and stir for 6-8 minutes until peaches soften and the glaze thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
- Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon peach glaze over it, cooking together for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
