Print Recipe

A smoky, juicy grilled chicken topped with bright, sweet, and sassy peach salsa, perfect for summer BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 2–3 ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • Handful of cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon more lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or agave (if needed)
  • 1 avocado, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, olive oil, lime juice, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
  2. To prepare peach salsa, mix diced peaches, chopped onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and sugar/agave in a bowl. Add avocado just before serving.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then top with peach salsa before serving.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. Chicken can be substituted with thighs for juiciness. Marinate chicken ahead of time but grill just before serving for best results.
