Ingredients 

1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon curry powder, or to taste
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-inch squares
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
4 peaches, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch wedges

Instructions 

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add water, stir in curry powder, and heat until bubbly.

Add chicken and cook, covered, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until it is lightly browned and thoroughly cooked.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, combine orange juice, brown sugar, and ginger, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Add peaches and orange juice mixture to skillet; stir for about 3 minutes, or until fruit is lightly cooked and sauce is bubbly. Add chicken; stir gently for about 1 minute or until mixture is warm. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Tips 

To peel peaches, immerse them in boiling water for 1 minute; then drop them into cold water. Remove the skin with a firm downward pull.

Variations 

There is a wide variation in the intensity of curry powders, so adjust the amount to suite your taste.
