Description
A delightful blend of sweet peaches and spicy jalapeños, this Jalapeno Peach Chicken is juicy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup peaches, sliced (fresh or canned)
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat if desired)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, chopped jalapeños, and sliced peaches.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
- Grill or Sear the Chicken: Place on the grill or skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Glaze the Chicken: While cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Finish Cooking: During the last few minutes, brush thickened glaze over the chicken.
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, slice, and drizzle additional glaze on top if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
