Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

02

Step

In a bowl, combine chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

03

Step

Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

04

Step

Add diced peaches and jalapeño to the same skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to soften and caramelize slightly, releasing their natural sweetness, about 5-6 minutes.

05

Step

In a separate small bowl, whisk together peach preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined. This mixture will create a luscious, balanced sauce.

06

Step

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the peach preserves mixture over the chicken and peaches, ensuring everything is well coated. Stir gently.

07

Step

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken beautifully, about 2 minutes.

08

Step

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spice blend for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preferred spice level. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes completely.
If fresh peaches are not available, you can substitute with frozen peaches (thawed) or canned peach slices (drained).
Serve over rice, quinoa, or couscous. It also pairs well with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad.
