Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 fresh jalapenos, deseeded and chopped
2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels for optimal searing.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, honey, lime juice, and jalapenos to create the marinade.
Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish; pour half the marinade over it and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While chicken marinates, sauté peach wedges in a skillet with oil until slightly caramelized (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove chicken from marinade (discard leftover), grill or bake for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
In the last few minutes of cooking, add sautéed peaches on top to warm through.
Serve hot garnished with cilantro and extra lime wedges.
