Rosemary Peach Chicken in a White Wine Sauce (revisited)

Peaches are in season!  I don't know about you, but I absolutely love a good peach.  This is really the only time of year to get one, though, so I really go nuts during peach season.  This Rosemary Peach Chicken is perfect on a summer night.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt & pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 slices thick cut bacon, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 peaches, sliced
1 Tbsp honey
8 oz. fresh mozzarella, torn
Fresh basil

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  • Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the chicken and toss to coat, adding more flour if needed to cover the chicken.

  • Heat a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain onto paper towels.

  • Add the chicken to the pan and sear on both sides until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the wine and chicken broth. Simmer the chicken for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Add the bacon back to the skillet. Arrange the peaches and mozzarella evenly around the chicken and drizzle the honey over the peaches. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 5 minutes or until the peaches are just charred and the cheese has melted.

  • Serve the chicken topped with peaches and drizzle over any pan sauce and top with basil.
