70+ Fresh Peach Recipes to Savor This Summer

Recipe: Basil-Peach Chicken Breasts

This recipe begins by browning the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop, and then cooking the shallots in the drippings while the chicken gets cooked in the oven. Starting the chicken on the stovetop and finishing in the oven helps prevent dry, overcooked chicken. The flavorful juices make a fresh and clean sauce—much lighter than a flour-thickened gravy. The chicken gets baked with the sliced peaches, giving it a savory-sweet flavor. Serve this with steamed rice, couscous, or quinoa for a simple summer meal. You'll love the juices, so save them to serve over whatever grain you choose.
