As summer is closing in on us, those peaches are still as abundant as ever! So while they still are, I wanted to cook a savory dish with them.

Chicken and peaches sounded like a great option! Plus the same old chicken dinners can get boring. With this sweet and tangy duo, boring won’t even be a thought!

White balsamic vinegar compliments those juicy peaches so nicely but if you don’t have white balsamic vinegar, not to worry…Any balsamic will work just fine! The point is to simmer the peaches until they are caramelized and dripping with flavor.

First, let’s start by simply browning the chicken. On the stove top, bring a skillet to a medium-high temperature. Once the pan is hot, drizzle the avocado oil and spread it around. Season both sides of your chicken breasts with a little sea salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side until the outside is golden brown. The inside should no longer be pink.

*Side Note* While your chicken is cooking it’s a good time to start slicing your peaches.

Feel free to cut your largest breast in half to check, I did! When the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate, cover and set aside.

Turn down to a low, medium heat. Leaving the pan as is with any remaining bits of flavor. Add in your minced garlic clove and chopped shallot, Sauté for 2 minutes and fragrant. Toss in your sliced peaches and cook until softened. This is when you’ll be adding in that delicious the white balsamic vinegar, simmering until slightly reduced. Finish by sprinkling with the chopped basil. Serve with your favorite carbohydrate and veggies!

I actually found these gluten free and vegan perogies at Whole Foods and oh my goodness were they fantastic!

Dinner is a meal that can bring families together and hopefully this peachy white balsamic chicken, does it for yours!
