INSTRUTIONS

1.    Chicken/pork: Sprinkle both sides of chicken/pork with salt and pepper.

2.   Cooking chicken/pork: In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high until it’s shimmering. Do not allow the oil to begin to smoke. Add chicken/pork to pan and cook for about 7 minutes, on each side. Chicken/pork should appear brown on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside,but keep warm.

3.    Shallots/garlic: Place both in pan, sauté for about 1 minute, or until aromatic.

4.    Peaches/broth: Add to pan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Broth should be bubbling but not boiling.

5.    Sugar/thyme: Add sugar and thyme to pan, cook for about 30 seconds, just enough for the sugar to dissolve.

6.    Bourbon: add to pan and cook for about 2 minutes.

7.     Chicken/pork: add back to pan, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, turning over periodically so all sides are coated in the sauce.

8.     Serve: Remove chicken/pork from pan, place in your favorite serving dish, pour glaze over and serve.

9.     Enjoy.
