3-INGREDIENT PESTO-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PEACHES



3-Ingredient Pesto-Grilled Chicken with Peaches image

Find a great prepared pesto and you can have dinner in no time! In this easy grilled dinner, the pesto works as both a simple marinade for the chicken and a finishing sauce. Grilling the peaches caramelizes their natural sugars and adds a smoky flavor to the stone fruit, turning them into a delicious side.

Categories     3-Ingredient Recipes     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Chicken     Basil     Peach     Summer     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACHES, BASIL AND GINGER



Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peaches, Basil and Ginger image

A ripe, succulent peach is one of nature's greatest gifts. But a hard peach? It, too, is a gift, especially in this simple recipe from Melissa Clark. A roast in a 400-degree oven cooks the peaches alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs, drawing out their flavor and softening them as they meld with those flavorful drippings. Speaking of those pan juices, don't cast them aside: Sop them up instead with crusty bread. You won't regret it.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound hard peaches (about 1 large or 2 to 3 small ones, see note)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons dry (fino) sherry, or use white wine or dry vermouth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger root, grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Crusty bread or rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

GINGERY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED PEACHES



Gingery Grilled Chicken Thighs With Charred Peaches image

Coated in a balsamic vinegar glaze that's spiked with ginger, garlic and soy sauce, these chicken thighs are sweet-tart and irresistibly sticky. They're served with grilled thyme and honey butter-basted peaches, which become soft and wonderfully jammy on the fire. The yogurt is optional. It adds a cool and creamy counterpart to the char and smoke, but the dish is just as satisfying without it.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (preferably the good, syrupy kind)
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger and any ginger juice from a 2-inch piece
Kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
8 fresh thyme sprigs, or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
Olive oil, for brushing
Plain whole-milk yogurt, for serving (optional)
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced (optional)
Handful of torn fresh basil (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon honey
3 to 4 ripe peaches or nectarines, halved and pitted
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
  • Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACH AND CHERRY SALSA



Grilled Chicken Thighs with Peach and Cherry Salsa image

Toss together a lively peach and cherry salsa, and serve on top of grilled chicken thighs. We wait all year for fresh stone fruit, so take advantage of the abundance and dish up a slightly different take on salsa. Grilling chicken thighs seems to be a bit more forgiving than white meat. The marinade for the chicken is tasty, too!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 4h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 orange, juiced
1 lime, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
1 cup pitted and diced red cherries
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Add olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal and gently squeeze the ingredients together until combined. Add chicken thighs, press out most of the air, and seal.
  • Lay the bag flat in the refrigerator so that the chicken thighs are in a single layer. Marinade for at least 4 hours, turning the bag over every 2 hours.
  • Prepare the salsa before lighting the grill. Combine peaches, cherries, cilantro, jalapeno, red onion, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss gently and refrigerate.
  • Clean and preheat a gas grill to medium heat, about 20 minutes.
  • Brush grill grates with olive oil. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill chicken in a single layer until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • Use a grill basket: A grill basket will help keep the chicken and peaches from falling through the grates and also makes it easier to flip them.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. If your grill has a lid, close it while cooking the chicken.
  • Baste the chicken and peaches with a flavorful glaze: This will help keep them moist and add extra flavor. You can use a simple glaze made with honey, olive oil, and herbs, or try a more complex glaze with balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
  • Serve the chicken and peaches with a refreshing side salad or grilled vegetables: This will help round out the meal and make it more balanced.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken with peaches is a delicious and healthy summer meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
