Instructions:
2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned. Then remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the chicken and peach mixture.
- Stir gently to mix the basil into the sauce.
- 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.
