Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter 🧈
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 🍗
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch 🌽
- 1/3 cup sugar 🍬
- 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper 🌶️
- 1/4 cup chili powder 🌶️
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced 🧄
- 2 cups peaches, sliced 🍑
- 1/2 cup walnut halves 🌰
- 2 tablespoons vinegar 🍇
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted and shimmering, add the chicken breasts to the pan. Sauté the chicken until each side turns a beautiful golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. The chicken should be cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
-
Create the Sauce Base: In the same skillet, add the cornstarch to the remaining butter and pan juices. Stir vigorously to combine and ensure that the cornstarch is fully incorporated into the juices, which will help thicken the sauce.
-
Make the Peach Sauce: Next, pour the vinegar into the skillet and stir well. Add the sugar, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, minced garlic, and sliced peaches. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it becomes thick and bubbly. The peaches will soften and release their juices, creating a luscious and spicy sauce.
-
Combine and Cook: Return the sautéed chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the peach sauce. Add the walnut halves and continue to cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside. The sauce will continue to thicken and coat the chicken with its spicy, sweet flavor.
-
Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and generously top with the spicy peach sauce. Garnish with additional walnuts if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
