Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 peaches medium-sized, thinly cut into about ¼-inch slices.
- 2 red plums sliced
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Season the chicken. Sprinkle jerk seasoning over the chicken pieces and rub it in with your fingers.
- Pan-fry. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until done, turning once halfway through cooking. Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Keep the chicken covered and set it aside.
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the fruit, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently.
- Serve! Spoon the fruit sauce over the chicken and serve.
