Summer is officially here and somehow we are more than halfway through June. All the more reason for me to embrace summer produce and super simple dinners more than ever. Our forecast for the next ten days is mostly sunny with a few clouds here and there. This means that, just like you, I really want to be limiting my time inside cooking. But I also don’t want to sacrifice good food…and we don’t have to!

One of the many things that I love so much about this time of year is the produce that’s available to us. It’s so flavorful and colorful that it doesn’t need a lot of the “extra” stuff to make it extra delicious.

That brings me to this chicken. It’s relatively simple, but full of summer flavor, herbs from the garden, and in-season fresh peaches.

More times than not peaches are used in a sweet way, which I love (I’ll be making this peach crisp all summer long). But I also love to switch things up a bit and use peaches in a savory dish as well. This is one of those recipes you just need to trust me on and give something new a try.

Here are the details – it all starts with the chicken

You’ll need chicken breast cutlets and a bit of butter. Dredge the chicken through a beaten egg and then toss it in a mix of flour and rosemary to coat. I LOVE rosemary and peaches, but fresh thyme would be great too.

Once the chicken is prepped, slice the peaches and get them all ready to go. This dish cooks pretty fast, so I find it helpful to have everything pre-prepped before I start cooking the chicken.

The secret to this chicken is all in the butter. It’s pan-seared in a mix of olive oil and butter, which allows the chicken to form a nice golden crust on the outside. Using thin chicken cutlets is also key. The thin chicken cooks evenly and browns nicely in a short amount of time. If you have a hard time finding cutlets, try using chicken tenders.

Once the chicken is crispy and the butter browned, add in a splash of wine and a squeeze of lemon to create a really nice pan sauce. Then remove the large skillet from the heat and add the peaches plus a small drizzle of honey. The honey helps the peaches caramelize in the oven. Now place the entire skillet into the oven and broil for a minute, just until the peaches are warmed and slightly charring on the edges.

Now the cheese – my favorite part

As soon as I pull the skillet out of the oven, I break the burrata cheese over the peaches, add the pesto, and then let everything sit for about five minutes. As the cheese sits, it melts over the warm peaches and chicken becoming perfectly melty. And of course so delicious.

The pesto just adds another wonderful layer of summer flavor. Making this dish this time of year, with all the fresh garden basil, really is the best.

Finish it up

As always, serve the chicken topped with lots and lots of fresh basil. And done, dinner in less than thirty minutes and with very little effort.

I love to serve this directly out of the skillet since it’s so visually pretty. You can enjoy this with just about much any side dish you love like potatoes, rice, or pasta. But crusty bread is highly recommended for soaking up the extra sauce in the skillet.

Such a fun and easy recipe jump into simple summer cooking, right?

And most importantly, it’s just really good. The chicken soaks up all that delicious browned butter sauce. It’s perfectly seasoned with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary and lemon. And the peaches make the entire dish feel extra special and so summery.
