Grilled Peach Glazed Chicken
Juicy chicken, sweet peaches, and a glossy glaze make this dish feel like summer on a plate. It is simple enough for a weeknight, yet special enough to share with family and friends.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 fresh peaches sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry, then season it with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub it lightly with olive oil so it grills evenly and stays tender.
- Blend or mash the peaches, then simmer them with garlic, honey, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth until slightly thickened. Stir in the herbs at the end for a fresh finish.
- Place the peach slices on a hot grill for a minute or two per side. Grill marks add flavor and help deepen the sweetness in the glaze.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until nicely charred on the outside and fully cooked through. Brush on the glaze during the last few minutes so it turns sticky and glossy.
- Let the chicken rest briefly, then spoon more peach glaze over the top. Add grilled peach slices beside it for a pretty, summery plate.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered skillet over low heat or in the microwave at short intervals.
