Chipotle-Peach Glazed Grilled Chicken Breast

Summer! It’s the time for peaches, kids running through the neighborhood, and backyard barbecues.

This spicy chicken fits right in with all things summer. It brings a sweet heat to your outdoor grill. I use mine all the time. The grill makes it so easy to churn out healthy, flavorful, and satisfying meals. I love to indulge in all the fresh produce that summer brings and this recipe has a lot of it. You could serve this chicken along side other simple fresh summer produce, or even slice it and serve it on a salad. It would go great with corn-on-the-cob, grilled watermelon, my triple fruit salad, or even a more adventurous watermelon-avocado-cucumber salad. Keep summer meals light, bright, and absolutely delicious!
