Grilled Chicken and Peach Salsa Recipe Image

Ingredients


• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 ripe peaches, skin removed and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño, minced
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp honey

Directions


1. Preheat your grill to medium and oil the gates. Season chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper, then lightly brush them with olive oil.
2. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, remove them from the grill, cover them with foil, and let them rest.
3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peach salsa: in a bowl, combine the diced peaches, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), red onion, and cilantro.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey. Pour over the peach mixture and toss to coat. Note: control the amount of heat you would like by adding or reducing the amount of jalapeño. The salsa can be made in advance and kept refrigerated until serving, but is best if used within a day of preparation.
4. For serving, place one chicken breast or thigh on a plate and top with peach salsa.

Smith & Hook Sauvignon Blanc V22 750ML

sale price $20.99
Fresh, bright and crisp, this pale lemon-rind-colored Sauvignon Blanc features lively flavors of grapefruit, citrus and crisp pear with subtle freshcut-hay notes and vivid acidity. The finish lingers with minerality, hints of green apple, lemongrass and a touch of jalapeño. <br><br> This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from vineyards in the Central Coast, where consistently warm sunny days are followed by cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean at night. While below average winter rainfall led to some light early spring irrigation, the 2022 growing season continued with favorable warm weather that aided canopy growth and even berry set. Steady temperatures ensured fruit was maturing slowly allowing for gradual ripening and extended hang times. A small heat spike in late September slightly sped up the harvest but fruit still came in with beautiful acidity. <br><br> Harvested from certified sustainable vineyards, the fruit was hand-picked in the early morning, brought to the winery and destemmed. The wine was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the beautiful natural acidity of the grapes.
