Chicken Breast with Peaches

Ingredients
 

  • Chicken
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Peaches
  • 2 yellow peaches medium size, thoroughly washed, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • Trim chicken breasts to 4 fillets that are about ½ inch thick each.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season them on both sides with smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat for a couple of minutes so it’s nice and hot.
  • Add the olive oil, then place the chicken breasts in the pan. Let them cook without moving for about 5–6 minutes so they get a golden sear.
  • Flip the chicken, lower the heat to medium-low, and continue cooking another 6–8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches. Let them cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring just once or twice so they soften but still hold their shape.
  • Stir in the maple syrup, lemon juice, and butter. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, letting everything bubble together into a glossy glaze.
  • Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet with the peaches, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
  • Let everything warm through for another minute or two.
  • Serve hot, with extra peach-maple glaze spooned over the chicken.
