Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a blender, combine ripe peaches, honey, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts on the hot grill. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on one side.
  5. As the chicken cooks on the second side, start brushing on your prepared peach glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
  6. Once grilled to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Slice the rested Jalapeno Peach Chicken and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
