Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. In an oven-safe skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Pour the prepared peach glaze over the seared chicken thighs.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  8. About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, stir in diced fresh peaches around the chicken.
  9. Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through the baking process.
  10. Once baked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Marinating the chicken in the glaze for a few hours or overnight deepens flavor. Always use fresh, ripe peaches for the best taste.
