- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs cut into pieces
- 2 ripe peaches pitted and sliced
Spice Mix
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the spices and coat the chicken thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken and peach slices onto skewers, alternating between the two.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the peaches are caramelized.
- Remove skewers from the grill and serve hot with your choice of sides.
- Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Ingredient Substitutions: Try using apricots or nectarines in place of peaches for a different flavor. How to Serve: Pair with a summer salad or grilled corn. Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Marinate the chicken overnight for more intense flavors.
