Ingredients
Scale
- 2 yellow peaches, pitted and sliced: Adds a fresh, sweet element.
- ½ cup peach preserves (160g): Provides a rich, fruity base for the glaze.
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil: Used in the glaze for its mild flavor.
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce: Enhances depth with umami notes.
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar: Introduces a tangy flavor to balance sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard: Offers a slight tang and complexity.
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic: Adds a punch of flavor.
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt: For seasoning the glaze.
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper: Adds a bit of spice.
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes: Provides an extra kick of heat.
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs: The main protein of the dish.
- Additional 1 teaspoon kosher salt: For seasoning the chicken.
- ½ teaspoon additional black pepper: For seasoning the chicken.
- ½ teaspoon chili powder: Adds a smoky heat to the chicken.
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil: For cooking the chicken.
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced: Brings heat to the dish.
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Mix salt, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook for 5 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Sauté the Peppers and Peaches: Increase heat to medium, add jalapeno slices to the skillet, and cook for 3 minutes. Add sliced peaches and continue to cook for 3 more minutes until peaches soften.
- Combine and Finish: Pour the peach glaze over the jalapenos and peaches in the skillet. Stir well to coat. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the chicken. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly heated.
Notes
- Marinating: For deeper flavor, marinate the seasoned chicken in a portion of the peach glaze for at least an hour before cooking.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve over rice or alongside a simple salad to complement the dish’s rich flavors.
