Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with half of the garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Let rest.
  3. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  5. In the same pan, add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Add remaining garlic for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the butter and honey until melted and combined. Let bubble gently.
  8. Return the chicken to the pan, sprinkle thyme over, and spoon sauce over. Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Add sliced peaches and spoon some sauce over them. Broil for 3-5 minutes until peaches soften.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and thyme.
