I had such a fun weekend with my girls up at the lake! We spent the day riding and floating around, catching up (two of our group live out of town but flew in for this) and we sipped and ate all the good stuff. Several of us spent the night and it was glorious to sleep in and have a lazy little morning just lounging around. I planned ahead and had my husband on duty for a pizza dinner last night (he makes the greatest pizza!) so I had a super lazy afternoon and evening as well. But now, let’s chat about some delicious food…

Today’s recipe has all the summer feels! ☀️ This skillet chicken with peaches is loaded with fresh summer flavors from the peaches and basil. It’s a light, lovely dinner for enjoying with a glass of wine, out on the porch if you have one (and if it’s not too scorching hot). It’s also a 30-minute, one-pan meal so you don’t have to be stuck in the kitchen on a gorgeous summer evening.

Notes on this skillet chicken with peaches:

I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts but chicken thighs would be great here too. I use fresh mozzarella cheese, but you could substitute shredded mozzarella. It’s optional, but I highly recommend the drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end! We love serving this with a side salad (my super simple spinach salad is a regular go-to) and either some steamed brown rice or crusty bread.

I used my 8-inch Calphalon pan but you could use a larger pan if you want to double the recipe to serve 4 people.

Hope your week is filled with summer fun and plenty of fresh and delicious summer eats! Enjoy! XO, Kathryn P.S. Check out my other chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and all of my easy chicken recipes.
