Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 large firm-ripe peaches, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen peaches, (about 4 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and orange juice in a small bowl and set aside. When the chicken is browned, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, the soy sauce mixture, and the peaches to the pan. Turn the heat up to high and cook, uncovered, for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is nicely thickened and the peaches soften. Add the chicken back to the pan with the sauce, turn the heat down to moderate-low, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • In the meantime, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over a medium-high heat stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and sprinkled with the toasted almonds.

PEACH WHISKY BARBECUE CHICKEN RECIPE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Peach Whisky Barbecue Chicken Recipe Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 whole chicken thighs, boneless, skin-on, patted dry
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoons Butter
1 whole yellow onion, diced
1 cup whiskey
8 ounces, fluid barbecue sauce
1 jar peach preserves
1 or 2 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced (optional but good)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 whole green onions, sliced thin

Steps:

  • Note: I used an electric pressure cooker, that has a browning cycle. If you don't own pressure cooker, you can brown the chicken on the stove and then bake this in a Dutch oven. I will provide both ways of preparing this. Pat the chicken dry, and season with salt & pepper. For a pressure cooker: Heat oil and butter, using the brown cycle (for an electric pressure cooker) or on medium high on the stove. Likewise, you can make this in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs, four at a time, in the pot, skin side down. Brown both sides, then remove to a plate and repeat until all chicken is browned. Remove to a plate and set aside. Pour off half the grease, then return pan to stove. Add onions to pan and stir, cooking for 2 minutes. Pour whiskey into the pot, being very careful if you're using an open flame. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan, allowing whiskey to reduce for a minute or two. Pour in barbecue sauce, peach preserves, peaches (if using) water, and Worcestershire sauce. Throw in garlic cloves. Stir until combined, then return chicken to the pot, skin side up. For a pressure cooker: Lock the lid on, and set the pressure to HIGH for 10 minutes. Do a quick release, carefully removing the lid away from you. For the oven method: Cover and put pot in oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove from oven at 300°F. Serve pieces of chicken over a big pile of smashed potatoes. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peaches: The sweetness and flavor of the peaches will greatly impact the dish, so it's important to select ones that are ripe and juicy. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep, golden-orange color.
  • Use a good quality whisky: The whisky adds a rich, smoky flavor to the chicken, so it's important to choose one that you enjoy drinking. A bourbon or scotch whisky would be a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out easily, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through. A good way to check is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Peach whisky chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet peaches, smoky whisky, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can create a mouthwatering dish that will have your taste buds dancing.
