One Skillet Peach Glazed Chicken
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar (or can substitute with brown sugar)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (We used one teaspoon each of wholegrain mustard and smooth Dijon)
½ teaspoon salt, divided
3 medium ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
¼ teaspoon pepper
Directions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat. Sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pan and cook for about 7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Do not clean out the skillet, but add another 1 ½ teaspoons oil. Add onion and rosemary; cook for one minute or until lightly golden, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir. Add coconut palm sugar, vinegar, mustard, ¼ tsp. salt, and peaches; cook 12 minutes or until peaches are softened.
- Return chicken to skillet and heat just until warm, spooning sauce over meat.
- Serve chicken thighs with peach sauce.
