Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 c chicken broth
1/4 c sherry or additional chicken broth
1/3 c peach preserves
2 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 tsp tarragon, minced
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken on both sides in butter. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  • 2. Add broth and sherry (or more broth) to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from the pan. Stir in the preserves, garlic and tarragon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer occasionally. Stir in vinegar.
  • 3. Return chicken to the skillet; cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use ripe peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your dish will be.
  • Choose a high-quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will add a rich, complex flavor to the dish. Look for one that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly. Otherwise, the chicken will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Reduce the balsamic vinegar: Before adding the chicken to the pan, reduce the balsamic vinegar over medium heat until it has thickened and become syrupy. This will help to concentrate the flavor of the vinegar and make it more intense.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be most tender and juicy, and the sauce will be at its peak flavor.

Conclusion:

This Saucy Peach Balsamic Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up ripe peaches. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and flavorful. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
