One Pan Balsamic Chicken & Peach Skillet
This savory balsamic chicken is cooked with peaches, onions, and tomatoes and the best part - it's all in one pot. It's the perfect summer dish!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion sliced (about 3/4 cup)
- 4 5 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast tenderloins
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 cups sliced firm but ripe peaches about 2 medium
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil ribbons
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 3 minutes then push far to the side.
- Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 2 1/2 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from skillet and transfer to a plate, while leaving oil and onions in skillet (if you don't have much oil left you can add another 1/2 Tbsp).
- Add garlic to skillet and saute 20 seconds (you can push onions back to center if you haven't already). Add balsamic vinegar and cook and stir until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Stir in honey then add in peaches and tomatoes and toss, season lightly with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet, nestling between peaches and tomatoes (you can lift some of the peaches and tomatoes over the chicken to create more room), cover skillet with lid, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until chicken has cooked through (it should register 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer), about 6 - 9 minutes.
- Top with fresh basil and serve warm.
