Directions
Step 1: Season Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the peach sauce over the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
