    Chicken with Peaches

    If you have never tried chicken with peaches, this recipe for peach chicken is about to change your life!

    Other than strawberries, the one fruit I look forward to every summer is fresh, juicy peaches. I always buy extra to freeze so I can have frozen peaches year-round.

    When you think of peaches you might think snack or dessert, but they have so much more potential! Chicken with peaches is the only proof you’ll need if you aren’t already convinced.

    Whip up a fresh peach jam and a garlic ginger peach glaze for these sticky chicken thighs, and every bite will have you smiling from ear to ear. Make sure to save extra of the jam – you’ll want to make Peach Bread for breakfast!

    2. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add sugar. Simmer, stir, and crush the peaches with a wooden spoon every so often while cooking for 30 minutes.
    3. Once ready, the peach jam will have thickened up nicely.

    2. Stir well, and set aside.

    How to Cook Chicken Thighs

    1. Trim extra fat from skinless chicken thighs. Cut each thigh into 2 pieces and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
    2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden on one side, then flip to cook until golden on the other, about 5-6 minutes per side.
    3. Flip the chicken once more and spoon a Tablespoon of peach glaze over top. Smooth it over, allowing some to drip into the pan, and cook for another minute.
    4. Flip the chicken once more. Add the remaining peach glaze to the pan, spooning some over each piece.
    5. Add slices of lime and cook 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken reaches between 165°F and 175°F on a meat thermometer.
    6. Serve with green onions and grilled peaches, and enjoy!

    Peach Chicken Recipe Tips

    • You can use store-bought peach preserves if you don’t have the time to make homemade.
    • Homemade peach jam can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight, sterilized jar for up to 2-3 weeks. To prepare the jars, simply wash them in very hot water. Keep refrigerated.
    • You can also freeze homemade peach jam for up to 3 months in an airtight jar. Leave at least a half-inch of space at the top to account for liquid expansion, and label with the date.
    • Both the jam and the glaze can be made ahead of time to make this recipe even easier to make. The glaze lasts 2-3 days in the refrigerator before it should be used.
    • This recipe is also delicious made with boneless skinless chicken breasts.
