Description
A delicious and unique recipe combining the sweetness of peaches with the savory flavor of chicken, all enhanced by coconut milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
- 1 cup coconut milk from a can
- 1 cup sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon natural honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Immerse the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are completely covered. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, and place it in the skillet.
- Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, add the sliced peaches to the skillet to warm and caramelize.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the chicken with the warm, caramelized peaches and garnish with fresh basil or cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
- This dish pairs well with rice or a fresh salad.
