Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peaches, Basil and Ginger image

A ripe, succulent peach is one of nature's greatest gifts. But a hard peach? It, too, is a gift, especially in this simple recipe from Melissa Clark. A roast in a 400-degree oven cooks the peaches alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs, drawing out their flavor and softening them as they meld with those flavorful drippings. Speaking of those pan juices, don't cast them aside: Sop them up instead with crusty bread. You won't regret it.

Time 20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound hard peaches (about 1 large or 2 to 3 small ones, see note)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons dry (fino) sherry, or use white wine or dry vermouth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger root, grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Crusty bread or rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out a bit dry. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time to see if that helps.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked in this dish. The sweetness of the peaches balanced out the savory flavors of the chicken and ginger.
