Instructions
Creating Spicy Jalapeño Peach Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Peaches and Jalapeños: Fold in the diced peaches and chopped jalapeños into the marinade mixture.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish. Allow marination in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill each chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
8. Slice and Serve: Slice the grilled chicken and serve warm, drizzled with any remaining peach and jalapeño mixture.
