Peach Mozzarella Chicken Skillet
One of the first skillet dinners I crave when those late summer peaches start to hit! With tender pan-seared chicken, a tangy balsamic glaze, and plenty of plump fresh basil, this is a celebration of summer in one pan.
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 2-3 yellow peaches pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh basil chopped, plus more for serving
- 5 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese fresh if possible
Instructions
- Place flour in a small bowl or plate. Sprinkle chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter together with the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. (Use a skillet with a lid if possible.)
- Lightly dredge each chicken breast through the flour. Shake gently to remove any excess, then place each piece in the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onion and wine or broth. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits, then cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are beginning to soften and the liquid is mostly cooked off.
- Add sliced peaches to the skillet along with the balsamic vinegar and chopped basil. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then return chicken to the pan, pushing the peaches and onions slightly aside. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each piece of chicken, cover the skillet, and cook for about 2 more minutes, just enough to melt the mozzarella.
- Uncover the skillet, spoon a bit of the peaches and sauce over each piece of chicken, and serve right away with a garnish of extra basil leaves, if desired. Enjoy!
