Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by draining the canned peaches, reserving the peach liquid for later use.
- Add Water: Measure out enough water to bring the reserved peach juice to a total of 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Pour the combined liquid into a small saucepan and set it aside.
- Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown them on both sides. This should take about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Add the Liquid and Seasonings: Once the chicken is browned, pour the peach liquid (water + peach juice) into the skillet. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, and allspice to create a flavorful sauce.
- Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the Chicken: After the chicken has cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- Add Peaches and Stuffing: To the remaining liquid in the skillet, add the drained peaches and the stuffing mix. Stir gently to combine and coat the stuffing with the sauce.
- Cook the Stuffing: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the stuffing cook for about 5 minutes, or until it’s heated through and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
- Serve: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the stuffing over the top, and serve immediately. Enjoy the juicy chicken with the sweet and savory stuffing.
Tips
- For added flavor, you can also add chopped onions or celery to the stuffing mix.
- This recipe pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute margarine with olive oil or use a sugar substitute if you prefer.
