Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor before cooking.
- Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until they are browned on both sides and cooked through, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves, soy sauce, and sliced jalapeno to create a sweet and spicy sauce.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken breasts in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken well, about 5 minutes.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the preserves to get the best sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your spice preference.
- Serve with rice or a fresh green salad to complement the flavors.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through for safety and best texture.
