Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups ripe peaches, pitted and diced (about 3 medium peaches)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

    Cook the Glaze: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the peaches break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Set aside.

      Prepare the Chicken: While the glaze is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

        Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

          Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low, then pour the peach glaze over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to absorb the glaze.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve the glazed chicken over a bed of rice or quinoa, drizzling extra glaze on top for added flavor.

              Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your beautiful Peach Glazed Chicken before digging in. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of summer!
