Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ripe peaches, diced
  • 2 jalapenos, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create the Juicy Jalapeno Peach Chicken:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Prepare the Peaches and Jalapenos: While the chicken marinates, dice the peaches and mince the jalapenos. Set aside.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. For oven cooking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Add the Fruit Toppings: In the last few minutes of cooking, top each chicken breast with the diced peaches and minced jalapenos. Allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes.
  7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  8. Rest: Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the chicken before serving.
