Peaches oh peaches, I can not stop buying boxes of this delicious fruit! The only issue here is they all go ripe so fast. However, I am on a peach recipe wave over here. This dish has all the flavor components that make my tastebuds sing, it’s sweet, spicy, and smokey with every bite.
You should absolutely be making the very most of summer with this amazing peach chipotle salsa chicken. Then top it off with either Mini Peach Galettes or Peach Blueberry Crisp for dessert!
I love savory dishes with fruit, I prefer savory over sweet dishes if you haven’t noticed yet, haha! The combination of sweet summer fruit like peach in a savory dish really adds a unique and most flavorful experience. Pairing it over grilled chicken is just magical! If you don’t have chicken on hand this would be wonderful over fish or shrimp.
Chicken
I used chicken tenders because that is what I had on hand but any chicken cut will work. Chicken breast or thighs would be perfect for this dish.
How To Make Peach Chipotle Salsa Chicken
