This is wonderful when peaches are fresh and in season, but canned peaches can be used when necessary.

We loved this dish! I did use thighs as that is what was out of the freezer. No complaints from any of our 4 children or my even pickier hubby ;)

I followed the advice of other reviewers and I added a little brown sugar to balance the pepper. I also did not coat the chicken. I used 2 tsp. cornstarch to thicken the sauce instead. The resulting dish was very good served over rice. Thank you, Derf, for a lovely recipe.

This is a favorite at our house. The melding of basil and onions with the sweet peaches is amazing. Wonderful flavor. For best results, take no shortcuts. Especially, use real onions not dehydrated onions or onion powder (made that mistake only once! - when I didn't realize I was out of real onion until I had already started cooking.) -
This was good and I'll probably make it again next year when peach season rolls around. I followed the directions exactly, but after tasting it at the end, I decided to add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar and that made it better. Maybe my peaches weren't sweet enough to start with? Anyway, I served it over Jasmine rice and it was yummy. Thanks.
