Instructions
- Prepare the chicken for grilling. Trim off any fat.
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag, then add the chicken breasts to the bag. Massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated.
- Seal the bag and place it in a bowl or on a dish in the refrigerator to protect it from leakage. Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours but you can even do overnight.
- Next, prepare the salsa. Gently mix peaches, jalapeño, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice, in a bowl. Then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Fold the avocado into the salsa just before serving.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook, covered, for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Place the grilled chicken breasts on a platter and generously spoon the salsa over the top, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of freshness.
