Peach Chicken

By: Hillary Congdon via Taste of Home

Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in extra-light syrup

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 cup peach preserves

1 tablespoon chicken broth

1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons butter, divided

2 green onions, chopped

Hot cooked pasta (I use brown rice instead)

Directions:

1. Drain peaches, reserving juice. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and reserved juice until smooth. Add preserves and broth; set aside.

2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.

3. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and peaches; heat through. Sprinkle with onions; serve with pasta or rice. Yield: 4 servings.
