Very nice result.. Full of flavors. made this as written though I subbed apple juice for the orange juice. Peaches were a nice fit for this too. Made for a nice dish with one of my smashed mashed potato recipes. Made for Zaar Stars.

For this recipe I chose to use pineapple instead of orange juice in our recipe. After reading the reviews I also chose to add some of my moms Peach jam to this recipe to give it more of a peachy flavor. <br/><br/>We loved how good this recipe turned out. The flavors blended so well together.<br/><br/>I would say this is a very nice recipe to try.

This was very good. I would double the peaches next time. I used chicken thighs (bone in) so it took longer to cook. Kids gobbled it down.

This recipe was really good! I used thinly sliced chicken breasts, so I decreased the cooking time. I would also cut the number of breasts from 6 to 4 to make sure I had enough liquid to baste with. Loved the basil/nutmeg combo. The flavor was wonderful.....didn't really get much flavor from the peaches, but the warm peaches were a nice side dish! Thanks for sharing. Made for Photo Tag.

This is one of our favorite dinners, and anyone who we share it with asks for the recipe. So good! I like to make sure my chicken is browned really well in the frying pan, and we also like to add extra peaches. We recently found out this freezes well. We make a double batch and put the extra in freezer bags to pull out and reheat for a quick, delicious meal! We think it's even better the next day, or as a freezer meal, after everything marinates.
