2 large peaches--peeled pitted cut into 1/3-inch dice
6 tablespoons vegetable oil; peanut oil preferred for frying
1 tablespoon salt
4 large chicken breast halves boneless skinless
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornmeal yellow
Equipment
bowl
frying pan
Directions
In a bowl, combine the peaches, jalapeo, lime juice and sugar.
In a large bowl, toss together the flour, bread crumbs, cornmeal, salt, thyme and cayenne.
Put the chicken in a bowl of cool water.
Remove the breast halves one at a time, let the excess water drip off and coat them thoroughly with the seasoned flour mixture.
Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large heavy skillet.
Add the chicken, skinned side down, and cook over moderately high heat until golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 11 minutes longer.
