Sometimes frozen fruit works better than fresh, and this dish is the perfect example of why—a shorter prep time and a jump-start on a delightfully jammy texture. (Plus, you can make exactly what you’re craving, even if it’s no longer peak season.) Already peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches take a delicious turn when cooked with golden brown, crispy skin-on chicken thighs, lending their delightful sweetness to a rich and tangy pan sauce. Brightened with the zippy notes of apple cider vinegar and the zesty kick of mustard, this is a one-pan wonder perfect for a cozy weeknight.
