Ginger & Peach Chicken - a must make!

This recipe was ridiculously good. As in, so good you must make it and then tell all your friends about it. I was a bit hesitant about using peaches in a savory dish, but the flavors really work and both the Hubs and I loved it. I've made this several times already and can't wait to make it again. Fresh peaches would be totally delish in this, but frozen ones work just as well.

Ginger & Peach Chicken
from Iowa Girl Eats

Ingredients

  • 1 bag (1lb) frozen peaches, unthawed
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced 1/4″ inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, micro planed or finely minced
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • cooked brown or white rice
For the marinade:
  • 1lb chicken breasts
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, micro planed or finely minced
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
  • Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper. Combine ingredients for marinade in a large zip lock bag. Add chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place frozen peaches and onions in a large bowl then add ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, and red-pepper flakes, and toss to coat. Pour into a non-stick sprayed 9×13 casserole dish. Nestle marinated chicken into the peaches and onions, and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.
