Ingredients

Boneless skinless chicken breasts

Fresh jalapenos

Ripe peaches

Honey

Apple cider vinegar

Cornstarch

Olive oil

Salt

Black pepper


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • In a medium bowl, combine chopped jalapenos, diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and then stir it into the peach mixture.
  • Pour the peach and jalapeno sauce over the chicken in the baking dish, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

For an extra kick, keep some jalapeno seeds in the mixture. Serve with rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
