Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 Jalapenos, Diced
- 3 Peaches, Diced
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by gently patting your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Add the Jalapenos and Peaches: Once the chicken is browned, add the diced jalapenos and peaches to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, apple cider vinegar, water, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
- Finishing Touches: Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
For a tropical twist, add coconut milk to the glaze. For a smoky flavor, grill the marinated chicken. Substitute chicken with tempeh or tofu for a vegan option.
