Step 1

Season chicken thighs with chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the same (now empty) cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. This allows the cast-iron skillet to heat through.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove chicken from skillet.

Step 6

To the same skillet, on medium heat, add sliced peaches and slightly cook them, without overcooking, - about 5 minutes.

Step 7

At the very end, add honey, lemon juice, and butter. Stir

Step 8

Add back the cooked chicken nestled in between the peaches. Reheat briefly. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Top with fresh thyme.
