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.

  • Bring peaches, garlic, orange juice, vinegar, sugar, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and basil to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Hi I wrote this recipe. A little was lost in translation. You can used fresh OR canned peaches cut in bite size pieces. Enjoy!

In my 14 years of marriage there have been two recipes I've tried that my husband and I have declared inedible. This was one of them. We are not picky eaters by any means and enjoy strongly flavoured dishes of all ethnicities. Thought perhaps it would taste better than it smelled. Not so. Thankfully I tasted it before pouring it over the chicken so I was able to salvage something for supper.

I did a few things a little diffently though. I added the juice from the peaches and omitted the red pepper flakes instead everyone in my family could spice to taste with a little cayenne pepper.

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.

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.

Absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed this dish. It was extremely flavorful; the spiciness and sweetness complimented eachother nicely without one overpowering the other. I followed the recipe as written and was very pleased with the result. Thanks Sunny!

We were pleasantly surprised with the taste of this dish. Easy to prepare and easy to control the level of spice with the red pepper flakes. Went well over rice.
