Description

This Roasted Peach BBQ Chicken Bake is a delightful fusion of savory and sweet, featuring tender chicken breasts marinated in tangy BBQ sauce and layered with juicy, thickly sliced peaches. Baked to perfection, this dish offers a juicy, flavorful meal that’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering. The fresh cilantro garnish adds a vibrant touch, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Topping and Garnish

  • 2-3 peaches, thickly sliced
  • Cilantro, for garnish
  • Additional BBQ sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to begin warming while you prepare the ingredients, ensuring an even bake.
  2. Tenderize the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and gently pound them with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This step helps the chicken cook evenly and remain juicy.
  3. Marinate: Add the BBQ sauce and sliced red onions to the bag with the chicken. Seal the bag and gently massage it to coat the chicken and onions evenly. For best flavor, you can refrigerate the marinated chicken for up to 24 hours if preparing ahead.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer the chicken mixture into the dish, spreading the chicken breasts out evenly. Layer the thick peach slices evenly over the chicken.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve the chicken hot, topped with freshly chopped cilantro and additional BBQ sauce if desired for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, avoid overpounding; aim for a uniform 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor but is optional.
  • Use ripe but firm peaches to maintain structure during baking.
  • Adjust BBQ sauce sweetness according to personal preference or dietary needs.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
