– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Creating Jalapeno Peach Chicken can be simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure they are evenly coated.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Peaches and Jalapenos: Stir in the diced peaches and minced jalapenos. Allow them to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peaches soften slightly.
5. Sear Chicken: In the same skillet, push the peach mixture to the side, and add the seasoned chicken. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is seared, pour the peach and jalapeno mix over it. Squeeze fresh lime juice to add zest.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
9. Serve: Slice the chicken and plate it alongside the peach and jalapeno mixture.
These simple steps will lead you toward creating an incredible Jalapeno Peach Chicken dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
