Although the recipe calls for boneless skinless breasts, you can use chicken tenders or a cut-up chicken with skin, but the cooking time will vary (see Cook's Note). If you want to use fresh or frozen sliced peaches instead of canned, add 2 tablespoons honey to the marinade. Grilled pitted fresh peach or nectarine halves are great alongside. Serve with potatoes and a crisp green salad. Any leftover sliced chicken is great on a sandwich with a little lettuce, honey mustard, and peach jam.

  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey

Preparation Place the peaches in a food processor and process to a smooth puree. Add the oil and honey and process briefly to blend; transfer to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces and close, squeezing out the air. Chill for 15 minutes (or you can do it the day before). Prepare the grill (gas grill at medium; charcoal grill arranged for indirect heat), heat a grill pan over medium heat, or preheat the broiler. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and place on a plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper and transfer to the grill. Cover and cook until charred underneath, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until charred and firm when poked with a finger, 4 to 5 minutes more. CooksÂ’ Note:For chicken tenders, cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side; for chicken pieces with bone in, cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife.Per serving: 205 calories, 5 g fat, 1 g saturated, 4 g carbohydrates, 0 g fiber, 34 g protein Nutritional analysis provided by Other Real Food For Healthy Kids reprinted with permission of William Morrow/An Imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
