Peach Chicken

Deliciously breaded chicken is combined with cooked peaches and green onions, and served with pasta.

Ingredients:

- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup peach or apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon white wine or chicken broth

- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)

- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 green onions, chopped

- hot cooked pasta

Directions:

Drain peaches, reserving juice. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and reserved juice until smooth. Add peach/apricot preserves and wine or chicken broth. Set aside.

In a large Ziploc bag, combine bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat.

In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon buter. Stir the cornstarch mixture, then add it to the pan. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Add chicken and peaches; heat through.

Sprinkle with green onions; serve with cooked pasta.
