Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Peach-Jalapeño Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup peach preserves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Garnish:

  • Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prepare Sauce: Whisk together peach preserves, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, jalapeño, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  4. Glaze Chicken: Pour the peach-jalapeño sauce over the nearly cooked chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3–4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to glaze it.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 1 hour before cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, couscous, or roasted vegetables.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference.
