  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the sliced peaches, honey or agave syrup, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for another 5 minutes until peaches soften and caramelize.
  4. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet. Cook for 2 more minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves. Serve hot with a side of greens or rice for a complete summer meal.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe peaches and fresh herbs.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with a light salad or grilled vegetables for a refreshing summer meal.
