Description

This sweet and spicy dish is ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can peaches, drained and chopped
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter

Directions

1 Bring peaches, garlic, orange juice, vinegar, sugar, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and basil to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 Meanwhile, season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper, then dust with flour and shake off the excess. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook until lightly brown on both sides, but still pink in the center.
3 Season peach sauce with salt and pepper, and pour over browned chicken. Return the chicken to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes more until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
