Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  2. 2 peaches, sliced
  3. 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  4. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  5. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. For the peach and onion relish, thinly slice the peaches and onions into uniform pieces. Combine them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the peach and onion mixture. Gently toss to coat evenly, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the mixture sit and marinate while preparing the chicken.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side, creating nice grill marks and ensuring even cooking.
  6. Flip the chicken breasts and continue grilling for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, which helps maintain moisture.
  8. Plate the grilled chicken and top generously with the fresh peach and onion relish. Serve immediately while warm.

Tips

  1. Temperature is Key: Ensure your grill is at the right temperature (375-400°F) for perfect grill marks and even cooking.
  2. Pat the Chicken Dry: Always pat chicken breasts dry before seasoning to help achieve a beautiful sear and prevent steaming.
  3. Don't Overcrowd the Grill: Leave space between chicken breasts to ensure even heat distribution and proper grilling.
  4. Use a Meat Thermometer: Always check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  5. Let the Meat Rest: Allow the chicken to rest 3-5 minutes after grilling to keep it juicy and tender.
  6. Fresh is Best: Use ripe, in-season peaches for the most flavorful relish.
  7. Balsamic Tip: Let the peach and onion mixture marinate for maximum flavor infusion before topping the chicken.
