INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 (5 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts or equivalent thighs or tenderloins
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can roasted diced tomatoes, drained or equivalent fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 3 minutes then push far to the side.
  2. Add chicken to skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 2 1/2 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and transfer to a plate, while leaving oil and onions in skillet (if you don't have much oil left you can add another 1/2 Tbsp). Add garlic to skillet and saute 20 seconds.
  4. Add balsamic vinegar and rosemary and cook and stir until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in the maple syrup and mustard; then add in the peaches and tomatoes and toss, season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Return chicken to skillet, nestling between peaches and tomatoes, cover skillet with lid, reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer until chicken has cooked through (it should register 150 degrees on an instant read thermometer), about 2 - 3 minutes.
  6. Top with fresh basil and serve warm.
