  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

8 pieces chicken (mixture of thighs and legs)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

½ cup all-purpose flour

4 peaches, cut into thick wedges

3 tomatoes, cut into thick wedges

2 red onions, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, diced

¼ cup white wine

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  4. Sear chicken until golden brown on all sides, 6–8 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  5. Sear peaches until browned, 2–3 minutes per side. Remove, then repeat with tomatoes.
  6. Add onions to the skillet and sauté until tender, 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and transfer to the oven. Roast until cooked through, 10–12 minutes.
  8. Add peaches and tomatoes back to the pan and roast for 3–5 minutes more.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap peaches with nectarines, apricots, or plums for variety.
  • Try thyme or rosemary instead of basil for a different herb profile.
  • Add smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use chicken stock with a splash of lemon juice if avoiding wine.
  • Add zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
