"Strawberry Blonde" Chicken (Sorry, it uses no strawberries)

I named it, "Strawberry Blonde Chicken" because of the light orange color of the sauce and the use of blonde bell peppers. (Sorry to disappoint anyone looking for a strawberry recipe!) Why this sauce? Well, I have a prolific peach tree and I mean prolific! We probably got 500 peaches this year! So I was looking for ways to use them up, besides giving them away, and making pie, cobbler, waffles, syrup and jam. So I used an idea I found to create this dish. It's really yummy. The recipe says 6-8 thighs because they vary in size. Just use however many will fit in your largest deep-dish baking dish. 🙂 Great for a potluck if you make it with wings instead of thighs. If you make wings, there is enough sauce for 2 baking pans of them. If you want, you can successfully cut the recipe in half for one pan of wings.
