Instructions
Creating Jalapeño Peach Glazed Chicken is a simple process if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and diced jalapeños. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on your stovetop over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Prepare the Peach Glaze: While the chicken is grilling, combine the diced peaches and remaining marinade in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peaches soften and the glaze thickens slightly.
6. Glaze the Chicken: In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the peach glaze over the chicken breasts, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle any remaining glaze over the sliced chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
