Ingredients:

  • 2 yellow peaches, pitted, sliced
  • ½ cup (160 g) peach preserves
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

Directions:

  1. Prepare the peach glaze by mixing the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until incorporated. Set aside.
  2. Pat the chicken dry. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Apply the seasoning mixture to the chicken.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add chicken thighs. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to a plate. Tent to keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, raise the heat back to medium and add jalapeno peppers. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the peaches and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the peaches have softened.
  5. Pour the peach glaze into the skillet, ensuring every jalapeno and peach is evenly coated. Add the chicken back to the skillet, spoon glaze over the top, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is hot again. Serve warm.
