This chicken and peaches recipe is going to be one that you will add to your summer weekly menu, I promise! It’s so sweet, yet tangy and full of flavor! Plus you cook it all in one pan which is a win for me. Summertime is not for doing dishes, amen?
And for you parents of littles, this was even a winner with my toddler who has decided to basically not eat anything these days. So really, if he likes it… I really think you and your family will too!
This recipe would probably be best with fresh peaches but let’s be honest, I am a mom of two under two. So I stuck with canned peaches. But honestly I liked how it turned out. I think canned peaches can be even juicier!
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 ½ lb chicken thighs boneless skinless
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Peaches
- 2 yellow peaches, sliced, OR one can of sliced peaches, drained
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- ½ lemon freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
Cooking the chicken
- Season chicken thighs with chili powder, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium heat for approximately 2 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then add chicken thighs. Cook the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes, without moving it so it sears.
- Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes or longer until it’s cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Remove chicken from skillet.
Cooking the peaches
- In the same skillet, on medium heat, add peaches and slightly cook them, without overcooking, – about 5 minutes.
- At the very end, add honey, lemon juice, and butter. Stir
Final Touches
- Add back the cooked chicken nestled in between the peaches. Reheat briefly. Remove from heat.
- Top with fresh thyme.
- Enjoy!
