Stone fruit is popping up everywhere From backyards to farmers market, someone you know has a stone fruit tree. Cherries, plums, peaches…. The list can go on. If you have Neighbors like mine, you’re probably sitting on a few pints of freshly made jam, preserves or jelly. This is a go-to recipe that you will love and that 5 year old that only wants what he wants! Cheers! (Recipe courtesy of Chef Juan Zaragoza) Sauce: ½ c. Stone fruit - jam, preserves, jelly (your favorite) 1TBL. Dijon mustard 1TBL Whole grain mustard 1 TBL Honey 1/2TBL. Chopped Thyme 1 tsp. Sea salt ( I use Maldon or any flake sea salt) whisk together to combine Set aside room temp Garnish 1/2 c. Chopped roasted & salted pistachios ( almonds, cashews, hazelnuts all work as well) 2TBL. Chopped Parsley Chicken: 2 tsp. Olive oil 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6 oz. each), seasoned with salt & pepper. ( if your a thigh person like myself, thighs works as well.) 1/4 c.

Add chicken and sear until browned, 2 minutes per side. Place skillet in oven for 3 minutes then flip over for another 3 min. Roast chicken until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees, ( this may take loner if using bone in. Always go by the thermometer, especially with chicken) Remove Chicken from skillet, add wine to deglaze the pan. whisk to get all the fond from the pan. Add sauce and cook for 1 minute Return chicken to skillet, flipping to coat with sauce. Serve chicken with sauce; garnish with parsley and pistachios.
