Instructions

How to cook chicken

Season chicken thighs with chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or any other similar high-sided pan) over medium heat for 2 minutes. This allows the cast-iron skillet to heat through.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken thighs. Cook the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes, without moving it. This allows the chicken to sear.
Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes or longer until it's cooked through. Remove from heat.
Remove chicken from skillet.

How to cook peaches

To the same (now empty) cast-iron skillet, on medium heat, add sliced peaches and slightly cook them, without overcooking, - about 5 minutes.
At the very end, add honey, lemon juice, and butter. Stir.

Assembly

Add back the cooked chicken nestled in between the peaches. Reheat briefly. Remove from heat.
Top with fresh thyme.
