Although the recipe calls for boneless skinless breasts, you can use chicken tenders or a cut-up chicken with skin, but the cooking time will vary (see Cook's Note). If you want to use fresh or frozen sliced peaches instead of canned, add 2 tablespoons honey to the marinade. Grilled pitted fresh peach or nectarine halves are great alongside. Serve with potatoes and a crisp green salad. Any leftover sliced chicken is great on a sandwich with a little lettuce, honey mustard, and peach jam.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
- Place the peaches in a food processor and process to a smooth puree. Add the oil and honey and process briefly to blend; transfer to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces and close, squeezing out the air. Chill for 15 minutes (or you can do it the day before).
Step 2
- Prepare the grill (gas grill at medium; charcoal grill arranged for indirect heat), heat a grill pan over medium heat, or preheat the broiler. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and place on a plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper and transfer to the grill. Cover and cook until charred underneath, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until charred and firm when poked with a finger, 4 to 5 minutes more.
Nutrition Per Serving
For chicken tenders, cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side; for chicken pieces with bone in, cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife.

Back to TopQuick, easy and edible. The marinade time definitely needs to be longer. I agree with the other commenter that serving some of the marinade on the side for dip is a good idea. You can also top with grilled peach slices or diced peaches. This could also be a freezer meal and cooked in the slow cooker.

伟大的秘诀——我将保持这个孩子。我铜t the chicken into nuggets (tenders) and dropped them in bread crumbs. I didn't feel like firing up the grill so I baked the nuggets for about 15 minutes and they were great. (I don't recommend baking the marinated chicken without bread crumbs - the marinade burns on the pan.)

My husband recently had surgery to correct an aneurysm in his mesenteric artery...The one that brings blood to intestines...Anyway, I was looking to feed him some bland food for a while and tried this...The kid's loved it, and so did my husband. It isn't a very exciting chicken recipe, but it works!

Make extra puree and put it in little cups for kids to dip the grilled chicken in.

This is a great quick and easy recipe that my four year old loves. The marinade time should be a bit longer i usually do at least an hour, overnight is best. I also perforate the chicken with a fork before putting in the marinade. 1 1/2 lbs makes a lot so I usually make a salad the next day.

Probably the worst recipe I've ever made. I choked down a few bites, but had to throw the whole thing out. I don't understand WHY this has a 4 fork rating?!

I only marinated it for 15 minutes and it only had a slight peach flavor. I will try doing it overnight next time for more flavor. My kids loved it. I thought the charred part gave it an odd taste but the chicken was very juicy inside :)

What an easy recipe...my 12 y/o daughter made it herself (with a bit of my help). We used frozen peaches without juice, increased the honey for added sweetness, and omitted the pepper (her choice). Yummy, simple delicious ingredients. For sure we will add this to our list of "Gracie's favorite dinners."
