Chicken with Grilled Peach and Chipotle Salsa

Juicy peaches are grilled and then tossed with smoky chipotles in adobo in this delicious summery salsa, which is also perfect with pork chops or grilled fish.


5 ripe peaches, pitted and quartered 

Salt and pepper to taste 

1 chipotle pepper in adobo plus 1 to 2 teaspoons adobo sauce 

2 green onions, thinly sliced 

1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped 

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


Preheat grill. Season peaches with salt and pepper, transfer to grill and cook, turning occasionally, until just blackened, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, set aside to let cool then roughly chop and transfer to a bowl. Add chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, green onions, cilantro, salt and pepper and toss gently to combine. Set salsa aside. 

Toss chicken with oil, cumin, salt and pepper and transfer to grill. Cook, flipping once, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter, spoon salsa over the top and serve.
