Description
A delightful dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a vibrant topping of diced peaches and minced jalapeño, creating a delicious balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 peaches, diced
- 1 jalapeño, minced (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup peach glaze
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Generously sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-covered for maximum flavor.
- Heat the olive oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Wait until it’s shimmering to ensure a proper sear.
- Cook the chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side.
- Prepare the peach mixture: In a separate bowl, mix your diced peaches, minced jalapeño, and peach glaze.
- Combine and simmer: Pour the peach mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve warm: Plate your Jalapeño Peach Chicken, garnished with additional fresh peaches if desired.
Notes
Consider marinating the chicken with some of the peach glaze for extra flavor. Adjust jalapeño to control spice level.
