Whip up a sweet and savory peach-glazed chicken for a quick weeknight win when you’re short on time and energy.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, whisk together peach preserves, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the glaze. Cook for 1 minute to reheat.
Serves 4 – perfect for a family of 4 or meal prepping lunches.
Tips
Make it a full meal by serving over rice or with a simple veggie side like steamed broccoli.
Let the glaze cool slightly before tossing with the chicken to avoid overcooking.
Picky Eaters
- Cut chicken into nugget-sized pieces before glazing.
- Let kids dip their chicken in extra peach glaze on the side.
- Substitute honey for some of the peach preserves for a sweeter glaze.
Easy Swaps
Protein: Use chicken tenders or thighs instead of breasts.
Glaze: Substitute orange marmalade or apricot preserves for the peach.
Flavor Boosters: Add sriracha or crushed red pepper for heat, fresh ginger for zing.
Serving Ideas
