Steps:
- To make the Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour three quarters of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and one-quarter over the peaches and toss. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss the potato and roast for 5 minutes more. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.
- To make the chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and arrange the chicken thighs inside (cast iron works really well to get a nice crispy crust). Brown the chicken on one side, giving the chicken time to unstick itself from the pan surface and form a good, crispy coating, about 10 minutes (you can give it some help with your tongs or spatula if needed). Flip the chicken thighs and brown for 6 to 10 minutes, or until you can insert a knife to the bone and no red liquid emerges.
- Lower heat to medium-low and spoon a quarter of the chile jam over each thigh. Melt the jam over the chicken and on all sides, using tongs to flip and swirl the thighs in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the jam to form a glaze. Remove the thighs to a serving plate and spoon the glaze on top. Scrape up any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan-these will be the crispiest and the first to go!
- Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken to brighten its flavors and heighten the sweetness and spice. Serve with Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches.
PEACH-CHILE JAM
This jam is reminiscent of red pepper jelly. It's fruity, sweet and slightly spicy with a defined chile flavor. Try it on a cheese plate, with pork or chicken or simply on buttered toast.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small X in the bottom of each peach; add to the boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool; drain and peel off the skins with a paring knife. (Or for harder peaches, remove skins with a vegetable peeler.)
- Chop the peaches. Combine with the sugar, salt and chile in a medium saucepan. Toss and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is syrupy, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Add the syrup to the pan and bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently and skimming off any foam, until the peaches soften and the juices thicken, about 15 minutes. (Gently mash any large peach chunks.) Remove from the heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
- Transfer the jam to a jar or other airtight container and refrigerate until cold and fully jelled, 1 to 2 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
CHILE JAM CHICKEN
An easy and delicious chicken recipe. The chile jam adds spice and sweetness to the chicken. This recipe comes from Daphne Oz. She serves it with caramelized sweet potatoes and peaches. I will post that recipe, too. It's a great combination, but I love the chicken recipe alone, too! This recipe serves two (2 thighs per person),but you can easily increase the amounts.

- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken and vegetables well. This will help bring out their natural flavors and make the dish more flavorful.
- Use a Good Quality Chile Jam: The chile jam is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a jam that is made with fresh, ripe chiles and has a good balance of sweetness and heat.
- Cook the Chicken Until It's Cooked Through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through before you remove it from the pan. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
- Caramelize the Sweet Potatoes: Take your time caramelizing the sweet potatoes. This will help them develop a beautiful golden brown color and a slightly crispy texture.
- Add the Peaches Last: The peaches are a delicate fruit, so add them to the pan last. This will help prevent them from becoming mushy.
