Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Fresh peach slices, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes, if using. This is your glaze base.
  3. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze mixture over the chicken pieces. Reserve the remaining glaze.
  4. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken bakes, prepare the finishing sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
  6. Pour the reserved glaze into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, brush the thickened glaze generously over the top of each piece.
  8. Garnish with fresh peach slices and chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • You can grill the chicken instead of baking for a smoky flavor. Adjust grilling time as needed.
  • For best results, use ripe peaches when slicing for garnish.
  • This glaze pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a crisp green salad.
