Creating this incredible Jalapeno Peach Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for enhanced flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add Jalapenos and Peaches: After marinating, remove the chicken from the bag. Add the diced jalapenos and peaches into the marinade. Stir to combine.
5. Cook the Chicken: Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If using a skillet, cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add the Topping: In the last few minutes of cooking, top the chicken with the jalapeno and peach mixture from the bowl, allowing it to warm through.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to distribute evenly.
8. Serve: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that is not only visually stunning but also packed with flavor!
