Ingredients
cilantro lime rice
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 3 cups water or chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 limes, zest freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¾ cup chopped cilantro
chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 peaches, pitted and halved
- ¼ cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
jalapeño peach salsa
- 2 peaches, diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 shallot, diced
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 to 2 limes, freshly squeezed
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
cilantro lime rice
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Heat the water/stock in a saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Add in the rice, butter and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the lid and stir in the lime zest, juice and cilantro. Serve!
chicken
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Season the chicken all over liberally with salt, pepper, the smoked paprika and garlic powder. Slice the 2 peaches in half and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peach preserves and vinegar.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cover. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and grill for another 5 to 6 minutes. Brush one side with the peach preserves mixture and grill for 1 minute. Flip and brush the other side, grilling for another minute. Repeat this one or two more times. This is when I throw the 2 peaches on the grill too. They only need 1 to 2 minutes or so.
- Remove the chicken (and peaches) from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Slice it, then serve with the jalapeno peach salsa and rice.
jalapeño peach salsa
- Combine the peaches, peppers, garlic, shallots, cilantro and the lime juice in a bowl. Add a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
