Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 3 pieces fresh peaches
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Sear the chicken breasts for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Pit and dice the fresh peaches into small cubes.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Stir until melted.

Step 6

Add the diced peaches, honey, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down slightly and the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Optional: Stir in fresh thyme leaves for added aroma and flavor.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the peach sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Serve the Georgia Chicken warm, garnished with any remaining peach sauce. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
