Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
Peach Jalapeno Glaze
  • 2 ripe peaches diced
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeno finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for extra heat

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Glaze
  1. In a small saucepan, combine diced peaches, jalapeno, honey, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper.

Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, basting with the peach jalapeno glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
  3. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve
  1. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve with additional peach jalapeno glaze on the side.
