Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breasts cutlets or chicken tenderloins
  • salt + black pepper
  • ½ sweet onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, julienned

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-heat, heat olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side until browned, Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm while you make the sauce.
  • Add sliced onion to same skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add balsamic and water and cook until reduced by half. Stir in honey, peaches and tomatoes and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Return the chicken to the the skillet and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use chicken cutlets or cut chicken breasts in half so the chicken is thin enough to cook quickly.
  • Use fresh peaches and tomatoes. You'll notice the difference in the taste.
  • You know the chicken is cooked when it reaches 165°F with an instant-read thermometer or if you cut into the chicken and the juices run clear and there is no pink. Honestly, I always just cut the chicken to see when it is done. If it isn’t just cook slightly longer.
  • Leftovers will store well in the fridge for 2-3 days in an air-tight container or be frozen for 3 months.
