Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

For the Peach Salsa:

2 ripe peaches, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped

½ red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the juice of one lime until well combined.

      - Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours to enhance the flavor.

        Prepare the Peach Salsa:

          - In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, finely chopped jalapeño, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

            - Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine the ingredients and let the salsa sit to develop its flavors.

              Grill the Chicken:

                - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

                  - Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill.

                    - Grill the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has lovely grill marks.

                      - Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

                        Serve:

                          - Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve it warm, generously topped with the fresh peach salsa. This vibrant dish pairs wonderfully with fluffy rice, nutty quinoa, or a crisp green salad for a refreshing meal.
