Rosy peaches have been widely available at our local markets for the last few weeks and I can't help myself but to buy arm loads of these beautiful, blushed fruits. When I arrive home I frequently look at my overflowing bag and think, "Now just what am I going to do with a dozen peaches that will all ripen on the same day?" In addition to our luscious weekend treat, Peach Crepes, Ellie Krieger's Savory Peach Chicken was a perfect solution to our peach buying spree!
Four perfectly ripe peaches were chopped into large pieces and sautéed with a savory mix of soy sauce, garlic, and orange juice for a perfect sweet/savory dish that was a family pleaser served over rice. A nice side salad along with a beautiful bowl of fresh berries (I was lucky to find organic black berries and golden raspberries!) completed our healthy weeknight dinner without much fuss and a request to "please make this again soon" was music to my ears!
Savory Peach Chicken
adapted from Ellie Krieger
3 cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks or slices
1/2 small onion, cut into wedges
2 Tbs brown sugar
2 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbs rice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp powdered ginger (may use 1 tsp fresh minced or grated ginger)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
3 large firm-ripe peaches, chopped in large chunks
Scallion slices for topping
Spray large skillet with cooking spray and add onion wedges, cooking over medium heat for about 4 minutes, just until they begin to get tender. While the onions are cooking, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and orange juice in a small bowl, whisk and set aside.

Aw man I just made chicken pies with fillo dough, I wish I had seen this right away. Next time I am at a loss for ideas I'm going to ask you. This looks really good, especially with the chicken and peach combo!
That is just a delicious idea.... my kiddos would love this! And peach crepes on the weekend? How decadent. By they way... those peanut butter bonanza cookies you made are out of this world. I really want to try them as they look delicious - Have a fantastic Wednesday - Megs
What a wonderful pairing of chicken and peaches, yum!
I really like how that recipes sounds.
Did you hear that? That's my stomach talking to ya! This looks absolutely amazing! The peaches has dried up around here, though. :( Next summer!
I'd give anything for one of the juicy sweet peaches we have in CA right now, here in Texas the produce isn't quite the same. I like the idea of them with the chicken. Have to try this when I get home.

Holy peaches Batman! This looks heavenly! WOW
This looks amazing! peach sauce is appetizing. What a perfect meal for Fall!
This is such a nice little twist on chicken breast. I definitely fall into a rut when it comes to boneless, skinless breasts. This one is a keeper!
That is a great recipe. I can't wait to try it.
I, too will have to wait for next year to make this with frssh peaches. However, in winter I make a similar stir fry with chicken pork, or shrimp using Trader Joe's Smokey Peach Salsa, which gives it a little "kick".
Another great recipe Kim! My husband LOVES peaches, maybe I will surprise him with this, thanks for sharing!
I am all about the sweet and savory, that being said, this is the perfect recipe for those flavor combinations! If only summer stuck around a little longer, I'd make this meal in a heartbeat.
Great idea and combo - peach and chicken. Never thought of it before. Will give this a try. Thanks.
Oh yes, that does look and sound delicious. I love the combination of savory and sweet. I adore peaches and chicken is the perfect go-to meat for this dish. Thank you for sharing!
Mmm, sounds delicious :)!
