Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Jalapeno Peach Chicken
  1. In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
  2. Take chicken thighs and dry with paper towels, then season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and place chicken thighs in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature is 165°F.
  4. In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high and add sliced jalapenos. Cook for about 3 minutes until slightly softened, then add peach slices and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  5. Pour the peach glaze over the sautéed jalapenos and peaches, stir gently, and simmer for about 1 minute. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing in the glaze for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
