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
Directions
Step 1
Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into small chunks.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Optional: Serve the chicken with additional reserved marinade drizzled on top, and pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh side salad.
