Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 sliced shallot
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • ¾ cup peach preserves or homemade
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 medium sliced peaches pitted
  • fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Returning to the skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 sliced shallot. Cook for 2 minutes to soften the shallot. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add ¾ cup peach preserves, ¼ cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Whisk to combine and heat for 2 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Return the browned chicken to the pan and nestle it into the sauce.
  • Layer 2 medium sliced peaches on top of the chicken and sauce. Place the skillet into the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes. The peaches will soften, and the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Top with fresh basil leaves for garnish and enjoy!

Notes

Storing and Reheating Leftovers
  • In the Refrigerator: Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: I don't recommend freezing this chicken because the peaches tend to thaw mushy!
  • To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of chicken broth to add moisture if desired.
