This was a recipe of my mom's that I manipulated in true Byrdhouse form. Everyone loves this one, even the kids if you take it easy with the red pepper. I always serve this on broad, flat noodles.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper, then dust with flour and shake off the excess. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook until lightly brown on both sides, but still pink in the center.
Step 3

Season peach sauce with salt and pepper, and pour over browned chicken. Return the chicken to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes more until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Excellent! Not too spicy and the flavors are well balanced! Next time I'll try using fresh basil so I don't get the texture of the dried in each bite. Read More

Not a bad dinner liked the flavors of the chicken but it definitely needed more spice. Try adding 1/2 Tbsp. Sriracha sauce gives it the kick it needs. Read More
