Ingredients

Β½ cup peach preserves
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for glaze
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Β½ teaspoon minced garlic
Β½ teaspoon kosher salt for glaze
β teaspoon black pepper for glaze
β teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt for chicken
Β½ teaspoon black pepper for chicken
Β½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for cooking
1 medium jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
1-First, prepare the peach glaze by mixing Β½ cup peach preserves, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, Β½ teaspoon minced garlic, Β½ teaspoon kosher salt, β teaspoon black pepper, and β teaspoon red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Set it aside for later use.
2-Next, pat 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry and season them evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, Β½ teaspoon black pepper, and Β½ teaspoon chili powder.
3-Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and reduce the heat to medium-low, cooking for another 5 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165Β°F. Remove the chicken and keep it warm while you move on.
4-Increase the heat to medium, add 1 medium jalapeno pepper thinly sliced to the skillet, and cook for 3 minutes. Then add 2 yellow peaches, pitted and sliced, and cook for another 3 minutes until they soften. Pour the prepared peach glaze into the skillet, stirring to coat the jalapenos and peaches well, and return the chicken to combine everything for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Serve it warm as a main course for dinner, and remember, this recipe serves 6 with each portion at about 412 calories.

π― Substitute peach preserves with peach jam or jelly if needed.
π Fresh peaches work best, but canned or frozen peaches can be used as alternatives.
πΆοΈ Remove jalapeno seeds and membranes to reduce heat; adjust jalapeno amount to preference.
π Chicken thighs deliver more flavor and moisture compared to breasts.
βοΈ Store leftovers airtight in fridge for 3-4 days or freezer for 2-3 months; reheat gently with added moisture.
π Double glaze if serving over rice or mashed potatoes.
π§ For freezing, prepare chicken without glaze and apply fresh glaze after thawing.
