Now that the blizzard has relented and the roads are mostly clear, consider heading over to the grocery store to buy some simple ingredients to make a sweet and savory chicken dish.

Ginger peach chicken combines the sweetness of the peaches and the spiciness of the ginger to make this dish a win-win. It is easy to make and is great for dinner parties or a night in with friends.

All you need are five simple ingredients: four chicken breasts, four tablespoons of honey, one can of halved peaches, garlic salt and ground ginger.  You might want to buy some potatoes or  vegetables to accompany the chicken.

Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F.
