Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 4 cloves garlic, pressed
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1.5 cups orange juice
• 1 (15 ounce) can peaches, drained and chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons nutmeg
• 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring peaches, garlic, orange juice, vinegar, sugar, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and basil to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper, then dust with flour and shake off the excess. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook until lightly brown on both sides, but still pink in the center.

Step 3

Season peach sauce with salt and pepper, and pour over browned chicken. Return the chicken to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes more until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
