1 cup fresh peaches, diced (or canned peaches, drained)
1/2 cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, in a bowl, combine the diced peaches, pico de gallo, and lime juice. Mix well.
Once the chicken is browned, pour the peach mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve the peach chicken picante over cooked rice or quinoa.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the peach mixture before baking.
Substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option or use tofu for a vegetarian version.
