Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs, (or 4 breasts)
  • 1 tbsp oil, (for browning the chicken)
  • 1 cup fresh peach slices, (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 1/2 tsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

  • fresh or grilled peach slices for garnish, (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Pat chicken pieces dry.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed oven-proof skillet on the stove. When heated, add oil to barely cover the surface. Sear chicken on both sides till golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil.
  • Place skillet in oven (or transfer chicken to a baking dish) and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you want a chunkier peach sauce, blend for just a few seconds.
  • Remove chicken from oven, drain excess oil and baste with the Chipotle Peach Glaze.
  • Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until meat thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve garnished with fresh or grilled peach slices.
