Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the peach jalapeño glaze:

  • 1 cup peach preserves or jam
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

For garnish:

  • Fresh peach slices (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add peach preserves, chopped jalapeños, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 3–4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the glaze over each piece, and let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes to coat the chicken well.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh peach slices, sliced jalapeños, and cilantro or green onions if desired.

Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or with a side of vegetables.

Notes

  • Heat Level Tip: Adjust jalapeño amount and remove seeds to control spice. Add extra preserves for a sweeter glaze.

  • Make It Fresh: For a homemade version of the glaze, simmer fresh peaches with honey, apple cider vinegar, and jalapeños.

  • Serving Flexibility: Serve over grains, toss in salads, or pair with grilled vegetables for a full meal.

  • Prep Ahead: Glaze can be made 3 days in advance and refrigerated. Chicken can be marinated overnight.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
