Ingredients
Peaches:
2 yellow peaches, pitted, sliced
Peach Glaze:
½ cup (160 g) peach preserves
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Chicken:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
Peach Glaze: In a medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until incorporated. Set aside.
Chicken: Pat chicken dry. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Rub the seasoning mixture onto the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken thighs and cook for 5 minutes. Flip over, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove chicken and tent to keep warm. Increase skillet heat to medium, add jalapeños, and cook for 3 minutes. Add sliced peaches and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.
Pour peach glaze over peaches and jalapeños, stirring well. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon glaze over the chicken, and heat for 1-2 minutes.
Serve warm.
