Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
1–2 jalapeños, finely chopped (remove seeds for milder heat)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together peach preserves, chopped jalapeños, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Simmer 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish and pour the jalapeño-peach glaze evenly over the top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Spoon extra glaze from the baking dish over the chicken before serving.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.
Notes
Use bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks if preferred; adjust cooking time.
For extra peach flavor, stir in a few diced fresh peaches to the glaze.
