Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish and pour marinade over it. Seal/cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
2. Prepare the Peaches: Slice peaches into wedges and toss with a little olive oil and salt (optional).
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade). Grill for 6-7 minutes per side until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), brushing occasionally with extra marinade.
5. Grill the Peaches: Add peach wedges to the grill during the last few minutes of cooking until caramelized but firm.
6. Serve: Plate the chicken with grilled peaches and drizzle with remaining marinade.
