Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Fresh peaches
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the bourbon peach butter. Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them into small pieces.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped peaches, bourbon, honey, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Cook the peach mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and fragrant. Use an immersion blender or mash with a fork to create a smooth or chunky butter, depending on preference. Set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, topped with a generous spoonful of bourbon peach butter. Pair with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
