Tips and Tricks

Make sure to brown the chicken thighs on both sides to get a crispy skin and add flavor to the dish.
Use ripe and juicy peaches for maximum flavor.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a heavy-bottomed pot or a large skillet with a lid.
Double the recipe and freeze half for an easy meal prep option.
