Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Grill
Ingredients
Chicken Breasts
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Each weighing approximately 6 ounces.
Fresh Peaches
- 2 pieces ripe peaches Pitted and sliced into wedges.
Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 pieces limes Juiced.
Honey
- 1/4 cup honey Natural sweetener for the sauce.
Fresh Ginger
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger Adds warmth and depth to the sauce.
Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil For grilling.
Salt and Pepper
- Salt To taste.
- Freshly ground black pepper To taste.
Fresh Cilantro
- 1 handful chopped fresh cilantro For garnish.
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of one lime, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, juice of the second lime, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken breasts directly onto the grill grates. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peaches. Cut the peaches into wedges and brush them lightly with olive oil. After flipping the chicken for the second time, add the peach wedges to the grill.
- Once the chicken and peaches are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- To serve, slice the grilled chicken breasts on a diagonal and arrange them on a serving platter. Top with the grilled peach wedges, and drizzle generously with the fresh lime honey ginger sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy your Grilled Chicken Peach With Fresh Lime Honey Ginger Sauce warm!
Notes
For added heat, consider incorporating chopped jalapeños into the honey ginger sauce. This will introduce a spicy kick that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the peaches and honey.
