3-INGREDIENT PESTO-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PEACHES
Find a great prepared pesto and you can have dinner in no time! In this easy grilled dinner, the pesto works as both a simple marinade for the chicken and a finishing sauce. Grilling the peaches caramelizes their natural sugars and adds a smoky flavor to the stone fruit, turning them into a delicious side.

Steps:
- Whisk 1 1/2 cups pesto, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add chicken to bowl and slide your hand between skin and meat to loosen skin. Rub half of pesto mixture under skin, then half over outside. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Season chicken with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill chicken, skin side down, covered, until golden brown and lightly charred, 7-9 minutes. Turn and grill until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 5-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Brush peach halves with oil. Reduce heat to medium and grill peaches, cut side down, until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1/4 cup pesto and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl. Arrange chicken and peaches on a platter and drizzle pesto sauce over. Serve remaining sauce alongside.
GINGERY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED PEACHES
Coated in a balsamic vinegar glaze that's spiked with ginger, garlic and soy sauce, these chicken thighs are sweet-tart and irresistibly sticky. They're served with grilled thyme and honey butter-basted peaches, which become soft and wonderfully jammy on the fire. The yogurt is optional. It adds a cool and creamy counterpart to the char and smoke, but the dish is just as satisfying without it.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
- Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACHES, BASIL AND GINGER
A ripe, succulent peach is one of nature's greatest gifts. But a hard peach? It, too, is a gift, especially in this simple recipe from Melissa Clark. A roast in a 400-degree oven cooks the peaches alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs, drawing out their flavor and softening them as they meld with those flavorful drippings. Speaking of those pan juices, don't cast them aside: Sop them up instead with crusty bread. You won't regret it.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
- In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches: For the best flavor and texture, select peaches that are fully ripe but still firm to the touch. Avoid peaches that are too soft or bruised.
- Use a grill pan or outdoor grill: Cooking the chicken and peaches on a grill pan or outdoor grill will give them a delicious smoky flavor. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook them in a grill pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken breasts and peach halves so that they cook evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of grill.
- Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before you remove it from the grill.
- Serve immediately: Grilled chicken and peaches are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This recipe for grilled chicken with peaches is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of summer. The chicken is juicy and tender, while the peaches are sweet and smoky. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a backyard barbecue. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your grilled chicken and peaches turn out perfectly every time. So fire up the grill and enjoy this delicious summer meal!
