Nothing says summer like fresh peaches! Biting into a juicy peach is seriously the best. Peaches are a great easy snack and are most often used for recipes like cobbler or peaches and cream, but they can also be used in savory dishes like these one-pan chicken thighs!

 

How to make the one-pan balsamic peach chicken thighs

  • Heat the oil in an oven-safe pan and sear the chicken thighs for 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey and stir to combine. Allow to reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the peaches to the pan and cook for 3 minutes to soften.
  • Add the chicken thighs back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the thighs to coat.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil.

The Ingredients for the Peach Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs 

I highly recommend using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe. It adds much more flavor!

Peaches 

Fresh peaches add the perfect level of sweetness to an overall savory dish.

Balsamic vinegar & Chicken broth

This helps make a light sauce for the dish with tons of flavor!

Honey, garlic & basil 

You can easily omit the garlic to keep it whole30, but it helps to bring out some extra sweetness from the peaches.
