Peach Chipotle Chicken is a flavorful and slightly smoky dish that combines the sweetness of peach preserves with the spicy kick of chipotle peppers. This recipe features tender grilled or oven-baked chicken breasts glazed with a zesty peach-chipotle sauce, perfect for a quick and delicious dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Peach Chipotle Sauce

  • 1/2 cup peach preserves
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the peach preserves, chopped chipotle peppers, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth to create the peach chipotle sauce.
  3. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it over the surface to coat evenly.
  4. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated grill or in a baking dish if using the oven. Cook until the chicken is nearly done, about 5-7 minutes per side on the grill or 20-25 minutes in the oven, turning halfway through if grilling.
  5. Glaze Chicken: Brush the peach chipotle sauce over the chicken breasts on all sides. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes on the grill or 5 minutes in the oven, allowing the sauce to caramelize and glaze the chicken.
  6. Serve: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of chipotle peppers according to your preferred spice level.
  • If baking, using a broiler for the last 2 minutes can help to caramelize the glaze for a slightly crisp finish.
  • Leftover peach chipotle sauce can be refrigerated and used as a condiment for other dishes.
  • Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
