Peach Brandy Chicken Recipes

PEACH BRANDY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat butter in saute/fry pan; dip chicken in flour and saute/fry skin-side down, over medium to high heat, till brown (about 4 to 5 min). Turn breasts and cook another 4 to 5 min, thinner breasts might require less time. Remove breasts from pan and deglaze pan with chicken stock, add in peaches, brandy and tarragon, reduce heat and cook approximately 2 min. Return chicken, along with any accumulated juices, to pan. Add in heavy cream and cook till chicken is warm and cooked through. Place chicken on platter or possibly plates and top with peaches and sauce. (If sauce is not quite thick sufficient after removing chicken, reduce quickly on high heat before pouring over chicken). This recipe yields 4 servings.

CHICKEN AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet with the butter over medium heat. Add the peaches and the juice of 1/2 lemon, and cook until tender and lightly golden, 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Cut the chicken breasts in half across the center of each breast to make 4 equal portions. Add the chicken breasts and thighs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes, then remove to a plate and cover with foil.
• Drizzle the pan with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan. Add the chopped shallot, and the ginger, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, the preserves, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and season with black pepper, to taste. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes to thicken.
