This Coconut Peach Chicken is a tropical, sweet-savory one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken simmered in a creamy coconut sauce with tender peaches, garlic, ginger, and a hint of lime—perfect over rice or quinoa.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup canned or fresh peach slices
  • 1/4 cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and ginger for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add coconut milk, peach slices, peach juice or syrup, lime juice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro or basil. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • Use canned peaches in juice or light syrup if fresh aren’t available.
  • Add Thai red curry paste for a spicy twist.
  • Swap peaches for mango or pineapple for variety.
  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Add a splash of coconut milk or water when reheating.
