Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeno Peach Chicken
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until smooth.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them with kosher salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and reach 165°F. Remove and cover with foil.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and pour in balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add sliced jalapenos to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes. Then add sliced yellow peaches and cook for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. Pour the peach glaze over the mixture and stir gently. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
