Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Fresh peaches
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into small chunks.
In a blender or food processor, combine the peaches, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and water. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for basting and serving.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). While grilling, occasionally brush the reserved marinade onto the chicken for added flavor.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Serve the chicken with additional reserved marinade drizzled on top, and pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh side salad.
