Make It Your Own

Sometimes I sneak in crispy bacon bits or a handful of sharp cheddar. Try cream of celery soup for a change or sprinkle some toasted almonds on top instead of onions. Your kitchen your rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I adjust the spice level?

Yes, remove jalapeno seeds for less heat or add extra peppers for more kick.

→ Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, but adjust cooking time as breasts cook faster and can dry out more easily.

→ Can I use frozen peaches?

Fresh peaches work best, but thawed frozen peaches can work. Avoid canned as they're too soft.

→ How do I know when chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer - chicken should reach 165°F internally.

→ Can I make the glaze ahead?

Yes, mix glaze up to 2 days ahead and store in fridge. Warm slightly before using.
