Roasted Peach Chicken
Description
Roasted Peach Chicken features chicken breasts marinated in a blend of peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and spices. After marinating, the chicken is cooked in an oven-safe skillet with sliced red onions and topped with thinly sliced fresh peaches. The sautéing process creates a golden crust on the chicken, while the oven finish allows the peaches to soften and impart sweetness. The marinade’s combination of tangy and savory ingredients enhances the natural flavor of the chicken and peaches.
The dish yields a tender yet lightly seared chicken texture, balanced by the softness and sweetness of the roasted peach slices. The inclusion of red onion adds a mild pungency and texture contrast. Roasted Peach Chicken can be served as a main dish alongside grains or vegetables, making it suitable for a dinner that embraces fresh fruit in a savory preparation.
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 medium peach pitted, thinly sliced
Instructions
Chicken Marinade
- In a medium bowl, stir together peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. (This makes about 1 1/2 cups).
- Reserve half of the mixture, and refrigerate. The remaining peach mixture will be used to marinate the chicken.
Chicken
- Pat chicken breasts dry and pound each to about ½-inch thickness.
- To a resealable plastic bag, add the chicken and sliced red onions. Pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and mix to coat.
- Place the marinating chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
- When ready, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- To a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add the entire contents of the marinated chicken bag to the skillet. Sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Pour the reserved peach marinade over the chicken breasts in the skillet. Arrange 4-5 sliced peaches on top of each chicken breast, and nestle the remaining peaches into the pan around the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
