**Peach Schnapps Glazed Chicken**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup peach schnapps
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the peach schnapps, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to simmer.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering peach schnapps mixture while stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
5. Pour the peach schnapps glaze over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through the cooking time.
7. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
8. Serve the Peach Schnapps Glazed Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.
