Juicy, seasoned chicken breasts served with a sweet and spicy jalapeño peach sauce made from fresh peaches, honey, vinegar, and lime for a vibrant balance of savory, fruity, and fiery flavors.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry, rub with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C). Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
  3. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté red onion and jalapeños for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Serve hot with extra sauce drizzled over each piece.

Notes

Canned peaches can be used—drain well and reduce honey slightly.

Adjust jalapeño seeds and amount for desired heat level.

Chicken thighs can be substituted—adjust cooking time as needed.

The sauce can be made ahead and reheated.

This sauce pairs well with pork chops, salmon, or tofu.
