Sweet, spicy, and vibrant grilled chicken infused with fresh jalapeño and juicy peach flavors—ideal for a summer dinner or barbecue.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine peaches, jalapeños, olive oil, honey, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to make the marinade.
  2. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for brushing later.
  3. Place chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour remaining marinade over. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temperature 165 °F/74 °C).
  6. During the last few minutes, brush the reserved marinade onto chicken to create a glossy glaze.
  7. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with extra grilled peaches or lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • To adjust heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or omit entirely.
  • Peaches can be replaced with nectarines or mango for variation.
  • If you don’t have a grill, cook chicken in a hot grill pan or under a broiler.
  • Leftover marinade should not be reused unless boiled to safe temperature.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables, rice, or green salad.
