Directions

  1. Cut the chicken into pieces and season it. In a large saucepan, heat a little oil over high heat and sauté the chicken for 2 minutes, then remove it.
  2. In the same saucepan, add a drizzle of oil, then the garlic. Once it is browned, add the onion, bell pepper, and green chili, and cook them together. ≈ 3 min
  3. Return the chicken to the pot, pour in the white wine, and let it reduce, then add the broth.
  4. While the chicken is cooking over low heat, heat the sugar in a separate saucepan with a few drops of water. Once caramelized, add the lemon juice or vinegar, then a little broth. Carefully collect the caramelized sugar. Then, mix this sweet and sour broth with the chicken.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, whisk the flour into cold water, then pour it into the sauce and let it thicken slightly.
  6. Finally, add the diced peaches and mix everything together. ≈ 4 min
