Ingredients:

For the Peach Balsamic Marinade:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and mashed

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

For Grilling:

Olive oil (for brushing)

Fresh peaches (for grilling, optional)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Peach Balsamic Marinade:

In a bowl, combine the mashed ripe peaches, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the peach balsamic marinade over the chicken, ensuring each breast is coated evenly.

Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C) and brush the grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the Chicken:

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Optional: Grill Fresh Peaches:

While the chicken is grilling, you can also some fresh peach halves for a delightful side dish. Brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop grill marks and caramelise slightly.

Serve and Garnish:

Arrange the grilled chicken on a plate, and if desired, add the grilled peaches for a sweet and smoky touch. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of colour and flavour.

Enjoy:

Serve your Peach Balsamic Grilled Chicken with your favourite summer sides like a crisp salad, grilled vegetables, or even a simple quinoa pilaf. It’s a mouthwatering dish that captures the essence of summer in every bite.
