About
When savory meets sweet, you know you've got something special – especially when it's inspired by the good ole South. Georgia Peach Chicken serves up some Italian-seasoned bites of poultry love and then combines them with the unique yet delicious addition of warm, buttery yellow peaches. This flavor fusion is one that only the South could dream up. Country comfort always tastes good, and the proof is in Georgia Peach Chicken!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow peaches, pitted and sliced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- fresh thyme sprigs, to taste, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it is heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 2 -Evenly season both sides of each of the chicken thighs with the chili powder, the Italian seasoning, the salt, and the pepper.
Step 3 -Add the olive oil and the seasoned chicken thighs to the heated skillet and cook, undisturbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 4 -Flip the chicken thighs then reduce the heat to low-medium. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
Step 5 -Transfer the cooked chicken thighs to a plate.
Step 6 -In the same cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the peaches and cook, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 7 -Add the honey, the lemon juice, and the butter to the peaches and cook, while stirring, until the mixture is syrupy, about 30 seconds.
Step 8 -Nestle the cooked chicken thighs in the peach mixture and cook until the meat is heated through.
Step 9 -Transfer the cast-iron skillet from the heat and evenly sprinkle the chicken thighs with the fresh thyme.
Step 10 -Serve.
