Chicken and Peaches with Balsamic Reduction

I was surprised chicken and peaches were so delicious together. Sometimes you just have to step out of the box and get creative!

Peaches are decent all year round now because they come in from so many different places. This recipe is so creative and I’m betting your family is going to ask for it over and over again!

Though I haven’t tried it yet, I’m thinking canned peaches would work, too. If you absolutely can’t find fresh peaches, be sure you don’t buy the syrupy version, but the peaches in natural juices.

Adding too much sugar isn’t healthy and will change the delicious flavor of the balsamic reduction. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this easy recipe!

I think this would be good with Cheddar Bay Biscuits!  And try these Ooey Gooey Bars for dessert!
