# Instructions:
01 -
Put the peach jam, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes all into a mixing bowl. Stir it up until it’s totally smooth. Put this aside till the chicken’s ready.
02 -
Use paper towels to dry the chicken thighs. Then, in a small dish, combine the salt, chili powder, and pepper. Sprinkle this all over both sides of the chicken evenly.
03 -
Heat a large skillet on medium heat, adding olive oil. Put the chicken inside and brown it for 5 minutes. Turn it over, lower the heat a bit, and let it cook another 5 minutes till it hits 165°F in the thickest part.
04 -
Place the chicken on a plate and loosely cover it with foil to hold in the heat while making the sauce.
05 -
Using the same pan, turn the heat back to medium. Toss in the jalapeño slices first, cooking for 3 minutes. Add the peaches next and cook for another 3 minutes till they’re softer and smell sweet.
06 -
Pour the peach sauce mixture into the pan. Stir it around so the peaches and jalapeños are nicely coated in the glaze.
07 -
Put the chicken back into the pan. Spoon the peach and jalapeño topping over each piece. Let it all heat up together for a couple of minutes. Serve while still warm and delicious.
# Notes:
01 -
If you'd like less spice, you can deseed the jalapeños first.
02 -
This recipe is best in summertime when the peaches are super sweet and fresh.
03 -
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently when ready to enjoy again.
