Ingredient List:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (~ 6oz each),
salt and pepper,
¼ cup thinly sliced shallots (I often substitute scallions – the taste is different but still good and scallions are often easier to find),
flour,
¼ cup balsamic vinegar,
2 tbsp unsalted butter,
¼ cup chicken broth,
¼ cup heavy cream,
2 large, ripe peaches (1 lb total) cut into ¼“ wedges,
2 tbsp fresh basil, shredded,
Directions:
1. Season breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour
2. Melt 1 tbsp butter over med-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, ~2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover while you make the sauce
3. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to skillet. When it’s hot, add the shallots and sauté until tender, ~30 seconds
4. Add vinegar and cook until reduced by half, forming a thick glaze, ~2 minutes. Add the cream, broth and any juices collected on the chicken plate. Cook until sauce is reduced by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon, ~2 minutes.
5. Add the peaches and toss until just warmed through. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
Serve over rice
