Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 large fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in your large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and red chili flakes, then bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the sliced peaches to the pan.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5–8 minutes until the sauce is slightly thick and glossy.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
If fresh peaches are out of season, canned peaches (drained) work beautifully as a sweet alternative.
For a thicker sauce, whisk a teaspoon of cornstarch with a splash of cold water and stir it into the skillet during the final 2 minutes of simmering.
