This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner while still being impressive enough for entertaining guests.

Ingredients:

6 chicken breasts
710g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 shallot
44g
1 tsp ginger root
2g
2 garlic cloves
6g
12 leafs basil
6g
1 cup chicken broth
240g
4 peaches
700g

Instructions:

3. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
- Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the shallot becomes translucent.
4. Add the Chicken Broth and Peaches:
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth.
- Add the sliced peaches to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine everything, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Combine Chicken with the Sauce:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Allow the chicken to simmer in the peach sauce for about 5 minutes, or until the peaches soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Finish with Basil:
- Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the chicken and peach mixture.
- Stir gently to mix the basil into the sauce.
7. Serve:
- Plate the chicken breasts and spoon the peach-basil sauce over the top.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra basil leaves for a fresh touch.

Tips:

- Using fresh, ripe peaches will greatly enhance the flavor of this dish.

- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.

- Be sure to not overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- Don't forget to scrape up the flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet when adding the chicken broth; it adds depth to the sauce.

Skillet Basil-Peach Chicken Breasts is an effortless yet flavor-packed dish that beautifully balances savory and sweet elements. Whether you're cooking for family or friends, this recipe promises to be a hit. Pair it with a simple side salad or steamed veggies to complete the meal.
