My younger daughter recently brought us a jar of peach preserves she got at her local farmer's market. North Louisiana is famous for its peaches so I knew they'd be good. That same week I ran across this recipe from my June/July 2011 issue of Simple & Delicious. We tried it when she came to visit the other day and it was quite yummy!
Saucy Peach-Balsamic Chicken
contributed by Trisha Kruse of Eagle, ID
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup sherry or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup peach preserves
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tsp. minced fresh tarragon
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken on both sides in butter. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Add broth and sherry to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the preserves, garlic and tarragon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar. Return chicken to the skillet; cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170F.

Chicken breasts were on sale, so guess what I have in my freezer? This sounds yummy. Tomorrow I'm bringing a pen and paper so I can write this down.
Sounds interesting tho' we're not much of fruity meats.
I adapted an interesting baked porkchop recipe yesterday. I'll have to share it with you.
This one sounds delicious, Kelly. Right up my alley. Thanks for sharing it. (I'm trying to find a recipe for peach salsa. I ate it at a friend's house years ago and have yet to find a good recipe for it. It was awesome, hot, spicy and sweet!!!) xoxo
