Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

For the Peach Salsa:

2 ripe peaches, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

    Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced peaches, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently and set aside for flavors to mingle.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken has beautiful grill marks.

          Rest the Chicken: Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender chicken.

            Serve: Slice the grilled chicken and serve topped with a generous scoop of the fresh peach salsa. Optionally, you can serve it on a bed of rice or alongside grilled vegetables.
