Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Rub this spice blend evenly over the chicken breasts. Set aside.
- In a baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and place the chicken breasts. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until nearly cooked through.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Arrange sliced peaches around the chicken. Brush the chicken generously with barbecue sauce. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the peaches are caramelized.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or basil if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides.
