Grilled Chicken with Cucumber and Peach Salsa

I want to take a second to give a little love to the unsung hero of this here blog.

For a long time, all the magic happened because I made it happen. Of course I’d get help from visiting dinner guests or family members, but for the most part I was running around the kitchens I’ve cooked in like a chicken with my head cut off.

But these days things are easier and down right prettier because Wes does everything he can to help me.

From dicing things to perfection, to hitting the grill when I have too much going on to snagging the camera when I need seven hands. He does it all.

He does it all AFTER working his butt off for ten hours a day.

Finally, all his hard work and selflessness has paid off. He got a great promotion at work after years of dedication and hard work.

Congrats my love! You deserve it!

In your honor, I will call you and demand that you tell me what to make for dinner and then freak out and have you help me chop things.

Thanks for working so hard and keeping all together!

You will need…

4 chicken breasts, pounded thin

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons peach preserves

½ cup cucumber, peeled and chopped

1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped

3 tablespoons red onion, diced

2 large ripe peaches, peeled and chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Start by combining the preserves, cucumber, mint and onion in a medium bowl.

Season with salt and pepper and let the flavors combine for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to a high heat.

Gently brush the chicken with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.

Grill the chicken until it has good grill marks and is cooked through. About 4 minutes a side.

When the chicken is cooked through, top with 2 tablespoons salsa and serve hot.
