Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and diced
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (remove more seeds for less heat)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  4. Step 4: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Step 5: Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or chicken broth to prevent drying out.
  • Serve this vibrant dish over fluffy rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • For extra smoky flavor, char the peaches and jalapenos slightly on the grill before adding them to the marinade.
