Fresh plums and peaches make a light sauce for baked chicken breasts. The chicken gets a peach and plum garnish, too. It's nice for kids, but everyone will enjoy the savory-sweet taste.

Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 pinch ground paprika, or to taste
• 3 plums, pitted and roughly chopped
• 1 peach, pitted and roughly chopped
• 1 plum, pitted and chopped
• 1 peach, pitted and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place 3 plums and 1 peach into the work bowl of a food processor with the juice drink, red pepper flakes, paprika, and cinnamon; process until smooth. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper; place into the prepared baking dish. Pour about 3/4 of the fruit sauce over the chicken. Set the remaining sauce aside.

Step 3

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the sauce has thickened and baked onto the meat, the chicken is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Place each chicken breast on a plate and spoon the reserved fruit sauce over the chicken. Place 1 chopped plum and 1 chopped peach into a bowl, and mix the fruit together; garnish each chicken breast with 1/3 of the chopped fruit.
