Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 2 peaches (diced finely)
  • 2 jalapeño’s (diced finely)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (organic, EV)
  • 1/4 cup honey (organic, raw, unfiltered)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (organic)
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (organic)
  • 3 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 lime (juice & zest)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (organic)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped, plus more to taste)
  • Rice (for serving, optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, apple cider vinegar, and chopped cilantro. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the mixture for later.
  2. 2
    Prep the Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Grill the Chicken: Heat your grill or grilling pan over medium to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. 4
    Make the Peach Jalapeño Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced peaches and jalapeños. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  5. 5
    Add the Glaze: Pour the remaining glaze (excluding the 2 tbsp reserved) into the skillet with the peaches and jalapeños. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Optional: Make a slurry with 1 tbsp water + 1 tbsp flour to help thicken faster.
  6. 6
    Glaze the Chicken: Brush the reserved glaze over your nearly-finished chicken breasts during the final minute or two of cooking to caramelize.
  7. 7
    Serve & Enjoy: Plate the chicken and spoon the warm peach jalapeño sauce over the top. Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired. I like to serve mine over rice and with a side salad.
