Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, sliced (freestone preferred for easier slicing)

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and slicing the peaches into thin wedges, and thinly slice the onion. Finely mince the garlic and set all prepared ingredients aside for easy access during cooking.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm on a plate.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Without cleaning the skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the onions are soft.

        Create the Sauce: Carefully pour in the chicken broth along with the balsamic vinegar, scrapping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

          Add the Peaches: Gently stir in the sliced peaches and return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to reheat and the peaches to soften while infusing their sweetness into the sauce.

            Final Touches: Give the sauce a taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper if needed. Remove the skillet from heat, letting the flavors settle.

              Serve: Arrange the chicken on individual plates, generously spooning the peach and onion mixture over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for an added touch of color and aromatic freshness.

                Enjoy: This delightful dish pairs wonderfully with a side of fluffy rice or a refreshing green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
