Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Peaches and Cheese

Peaches and mozzarella take chicken from boring to delicious in this easy one-skillet dish

At what point does it get to be excessive to talk about my love for fruits and vegetables?

I hope we haven't gotten there yet because I'm here to tell you how much I love peaches.

Peaches aren't my absolute favorite fruit (that title is for my beloved strawberries), but I do have a sincere, excessive amount of love for peaches.

And peach season is in full force right now which is why any time I see peaches, I buy them. You gotta get them while they're good because a not good peach is so not good. Bleh.

Right now though, peaches are good. Is there anything better than a perfectly ripe, juicy peach? Yum!

So yes, you can eat all your peaches just as is and that's wonderful & delicious. But you can also eat your peaches in savory things, too.

And when you top anything with cheese, it gets infinitely better, no?

Less than 10 ingredients, less than 10 minutes prep time, and ready in under 30 minutes? I'll take it!
