Summer Peach and Chicken Skewers
These juicy chicken and peach skewers are the perfect way to enjoy peak summer produce on the grill.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the sweetness of a sun ripened peach when it meets the savory char of grilled chicken. These skewers have become a staple in my kitchen during the warmer months because they are quick to assemble and always feel like a special treat.
My family loves these because they strike that perfect balance between healthy and indulgent. Be sure to cut your chicken and fruit into uniform pieces so they cook evenly on the grill or in your pan.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2 bell peppers, cut into 1 inch squares
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
👩🍳Instructions

Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if you are using a grill.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Thread the chicken, peach chunks, and bell peppers onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.
- 4
Brush the prepared seasoning mixture generously over all sides of the skewers.
- 5
Preheat your grill or a large stovetop grill pan to medium high heat.

💡 Tips
Serve these skewers over a bed of fluffy brown rice or a light quinoa salad. If you have leftovers, remove the chicken and fruit from the skewers and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
