01
Step 1
Start by combining the peaches, garlic, orange juice, vinegar, sugar, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and basil in a saucepan. Bring everything to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.

Step 2
While the sauce is cooking, season the chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly coat it with flour, shaking off any extra. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides but still a little pink in the middle.

Step 3
Give the peach sauce a taste and season it with salt and pepper as needed. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet, bring it back to a simmer, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover the pan and let it cook for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

How to serve
Serve this dish with a side of fluffy white rice or a simple green salad to complement the bold flavors. A chilled glass of white wine or iced tea pairs wonderfully with the spicy and fruity notes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken tender and the flavors vibrant. Avoid freezing, as the peaches may become mushy.
