Baked Chicken with Peaches

This is a great, low fat recipe because the chicken bakes in a light, flavorful sauce – no creamy stuff here.

Ingredients

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 C. brown sugar
  • 4 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/8 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
  • 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place chicken in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with 1/2 C. of brown sugar. Place peach slices over chicken, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C. brown sugar, ginger, cloves, and lemon juice. Bake for about 30 minutes in the preheated oven, basting often with juices, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Tip: For a delicious sauce to serve over the chicken and peaches, mix 1/2 Tbs. cornstarch with 1/2 C. cold water and pour mixture into cooking juices. This mixture will thicken and become a sauce to pour over the chicken and peaches.

Yield: 8 servings

  • The peaches and sauce was great. The chicken itself was a little bland. Maybe I should have used smaller pieces that would absorb the flavor more.
