Ingredients
- 5 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Tbl Light Whipped Butter

Instructions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a pan to medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts thoroughly, around 8-10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 165°F. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
- If necessary, add a drizzle of chicken broth to the pan, and cook onions until translucent. To the cooked onions, add your wine and deglaze the pan (stir for 1 to 2 minutes).
- Add mustard, maple syrup, peaches, fat free half and half, salt, and pepper and cook until the sauce is reduced and coats the back of a spoon.
- When ready to serve up, cut the chicken breasts into thick slices crosswise and place on top of the cream mixture. Sprinkle with fresh thyme (if using) and serve hot.
