Juicy grilled chicken is topped with a tangy peach basil balsamic sauce, offering the perfect balance of sweet and savory. This easy-to-make dish is ideal for warm summer evenings or a fresh weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced

  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Optional: extra basil for garnish


Instructions

  • Season chicken: Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  • Grill chicken: Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until fully cooked.

  • Make sauce: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and peaches. Cook on medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until peaches are softened and sauce has thickened.

  • Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or a green salad for a complete meal.
