Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (can use chicken thighs)
- 4 tablespoons hot honey
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Extra hot honey, for drizzling over chicken
For the peach pico de gallo:
- 2 medium peaches, pitted and diced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, slice the breasts in half widthwise. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the chicken in a large bowl or gallon freezer bag.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot honey, lemon juice, oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken. Stir to make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill (or grill pan) to high heat and oil the grates.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Don’t overcook. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover tightly with foil. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is resting, make the peach pico de gallo. In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, tomatoes, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Drizzle the chicken with hot honey and serve with peach pico de gallo.
