This recipe looks delicious, but I'm a little worried about the heat level. I don't do well with spicy food.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The chicken is savory and the fruit is sweet. It's a perfect balance.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe nectarines. Next time I'll try using less ripe fruit.
