So here was my meal from lastnight! I did use Frozen Peaches b/c they just don't look good at the store right now...I also opted to use Brandy....it also took my Chicken alot longer to cook that 6 to 8 minutes.

Ingredients

4 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breast Halves
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced nectarines, peeled peaches, plums, or pears
3 tbsp brandy, orange juice, or apple juice
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted

Place each chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly to about 1/4 inch thick.

In a shallow dish combine flour, salt, and pepper.  Lightly coat chicken pieces on both sides with flour mixture; shake off excess

In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat.  Add chicken; reduce heat to medium.  Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning occasionally to brown evenly.  Remove skillet from heat. Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm.

Add fruit, brandy, water, and lemon juice to skillet.  Return skillet to heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently.  Spoon fruit mixture over chicken, sprinkle with almonds.

Serve with Rice.
