Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup chopped fresh peaches
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional toppings: avocado, black beans, corn, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill or cook chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. While chicken is cooking, prepare the peach salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine chopped peaches, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken and a generous spoonful of peach salsa.
  7. Add any desired optional toppings.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour.
  • Adjust chili powder and salt to your preference.
  • Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for the salsa.
