A delightful summer dish that combines the savory flavors of grilled chicken with sweet and tangy peach bruschetta.
Equipment
- 1 grill preheated to medium-high
- 1 mixing bowl medium
- 1 knife sharp for slicing
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Peach Bruschetta
- 3 ripe peaches diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 baguette sliced and toasted
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat. This ensures that the chicken will cook evenly and achieve a nice char.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Making the Bruschetta
- In a separate bowl, mix diced peaches, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Slice the baguette and place the slices on the grill. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the peach mixture. Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter.
Serving
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts and arrange them alongside the peach bruschetta. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
Storage
- Store any leftover chicken and bruschetta separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
