I was with my good friend Leah last weekend and we were talking about our menus for the week. She told me about this chicken and peaches dish she makes that was her husband's favorite. She shared the recipe with me and I made it last night...now it may be my husband's favorite! :) The original recipe was a little different from the way I did it- on the original it says to grill the peaches...personally, I don't love grilled fruit so they way I did it is below :) ENJOY!
