Ingredients
-
Peach Glaze: In a bowl, whisk peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
-
Season Chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
-
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and cover loosely to keep warm.
-
Cook Peaches & Jalapenos: Using the same skillet, sauté jalapeno slices for 3 minutes. Add peach slices, cooking another 3 minutes until tender.
-
Combine & Glaze: Add the peach glaze to the skillet, coating peaches and jalapenos. Return chicken to skillet, spooning glaze over each piece. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
-
Serve: Serve immediately, topped generously with glaze, peaches, and jalapenos.
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to broil (grill) on high. Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven. -
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with the crushed garlic and parsley until aromatic. -
Prepare the Mushrooms
Brush the bottoms of the mushroom caps with garlic butter and place them buttered side down on a baking tray. Flip them and brush the inner sides with the remaining garlic butter. -
Stuff the Mushrooms
Fill each cap with slices of mozzarella and tomatoes. -
Broil the Mushrooms
Place under the broiler for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden on top. -
Make the Balsamic Glaze (Optional)
In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar and sugar (if using) to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5–8 minutes with sugar or 12–15 minutes without. -
Serve
Remove mushrooms from the oven. Sprinkle with shredded basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
