• ½ teaspoon chili powder or more
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste

Peaches

Instructions 

How to cook chicken

• Season chicken thighs with chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the same (now empty) cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. This allows the cast-iron skillet to heat through.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken thighs. Cook the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes, without moving it. This allows the chicken to sear.
• Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes or longer until it’s cooked through. Remove from heat.
• Remove chicken from skillet.

How to cook peaches

• To the same skillet, on medium heat, add sliced peaches and slightly cook them, without overcooking, – about 5 minutes.
• At the very end, add honey, lemon juice, and butter. Stir

Assembly

• Add back the cooked chicken nestled in between the peaches. Reheat briefly. Remove from heat.
• Top with fresh thyme.
