It's peach season in Texas. Roadside stands have popped up along the sides of highways selling bushels of fresh Fredericksburg peaches. They are ripe and sweet and if you find yourself with too many to eat, they pair perfectly with chicken in a slow cooked dish that bursts with summer flavor.

This casserole has everything you need - the tang of the peaches and olives, the creaminess of the feta and spinach and the explosion of the summer ripe cherry tomatoes come together in what has become my new favorite summer dish.

It's also easy to throw together with minimal prep and all cooking is done in the oven!
