Creating Sweet and Spicy Jalapeno Peach Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add Peaches and Jalapenos: Stir in the diced peaches and jalapenos, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the peaches soften slightly.
6. Make the Sauce: Add the soy sauce, honey, and ground ginger to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute.
7. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it in the peach and jalapeno sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
