Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 fresh peaches, sliced
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Add balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and thyme; simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Gently add sliced peaches to the skillet and cook for about 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the caramelized peaches and glaze over it. Simmer for an additional 1–2 minutes to meld flavors.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
