  • 2 1/2 tablespoons chile powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons marinara sauce
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 15.25 ounces sliced peaches, drained completely (1 can)
  • 7 ounces diced green chiles or 2 (4 ounce) cans, drained (1 can)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (jalapeño or Tabasco)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Roughly slice the chicken into 1 inch slices and set aside.

  • Step 2: Add the oil, a little salt and the diced onion to a deep skillet on low heat and cook until very soft and sweet, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more.

  • Step 4: Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano and salt to taste. Cook for a minute until fragrant.

  • Step 5: Add in the marinara and enchilada sauce to create a broth.

  • Step 6: Add the green chiles, hot sauce, sugar and peaches. Stir to combine.

  • Step 7: Add the chicken to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer until the broth is reduced and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes.

  • Step 8: Break up the chicken more and break up the peaches as you cook. The peaches will mostly disappear into the broth.

  • Step 9: Adjust salt to taste.

  • Step 10: If you want a thicker sauce, remove 2 tablespoons of broth and mix with the cornstarch. Add to the skillet and continue to simmer for a few more minutes until thickened.
