Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1 cup fresh spinach

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

        Add the Peaches: Gently fold in the sliced peaches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the peaches begin to soften.

          Create the Sauce: Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey, mixing well with the peach-onion mixture. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to combine all flavors.

            Combine Everything: Add the spinach to the skillet and return the cooked chicken to the pan. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the chicken is heated through.

              Serve: Plate the chicken and spoon the peach and spinach mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your Peachy Chicken Delight!
