    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with pepper.

    3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Place the chicken in the skillet and sear on one side until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes. Flip the chicken, then remove the skillet from heat.

    4. Arrange the peach slices and diced jalapeños around the chicken in the skillet.

    5. Drizzle with lemon juice, zest, and sugar-free syrup. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees F internal temperature).

    6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together minced garlic, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and dried basil.

    7. Add sliced artichoke hearts and avocado to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat. Add spring mix and toss again to combine.

    8. Divide the salad among plates. Top with roasted chicken and caramelized peaches.
