How Long to Grill Chicken with Peaches 

How long you cook the chicken on the hot grill depends on the thickness of your chicken.

Chicken breasts will require about 5 minutes of cooking time per side.

Chicken tenders have a short cooking time due to their size, so just a few minutes on medium-high heat should work.

The peach slices need even less time to get those beautiful grill marks.

Just make sure your internal temperature gets to 165 degrees f (check with meat thermometer) to cook the chicken all the way through.

 

 

Do You Marinade Chicken with Peaches?

Absolutely! The combination of honey and garlic in the chicken marinade not only flavors the chicken but also the juicy peaches.

Which means every bite is bursting with flavor!

I highly recommend not skipping the marinade. It really adds a lot!

If you need to, start the marinade the night before. Then it’ll have enough time to soak in.

Just be sure to keep the chicken in the fridge. You don’t want bacteria growing!

 

 

Is Chicken with Grilled Peaches Healthy?

Grilled chicken is a lean protein which your body needs to run!

And fresh peaches are full of natural sugars and other really essential vitamins and minerals!

Combined they make a meal that’s not only delicious but also nutritionally balanced! Score! 

Just be aware of daily values and adjust as per your calorie diet.

 

 

Can You Grill Frozen Chicken? 

For best results and safety, it’s always recommended to fully thaw chicken before grilling. 

This makes sure you get even cooking and reaches the desired internal temperature.

When you cook frozen chicken, it often is still cold or not quite cooked through by the time the outside is already overcooked.

You don’t want that!

 

 

Can Dogs Eat Grilled Chicken with Peaches? 

While plain grilled chicken is generally safe for dogs, be cautious with the honey garlic marinade. 

Garlic is toxic for dogs! And they really don’t need anything except for that plain chicken anyway.

Additionally, always serve peaches without the pit to pets. They won’t know to be cautious for a pit and can hurt their teeth or choke.

That goes for any stone fruit! Even cherries and things should have the pits removed.

Can You Freeze Grilled Chicken? 

Certainly! Place the grilled chicken in an airtight container or ziplock bag and it can be stored in the freezer for future meals.

I recommend doing the marinade and grilling it completely. Then let it cool and transfer to your container. 

Though I would wait on grilling the peaches until you’re actually ready to eat it. Fruit softens a lot when frozen and then thawed.
