Grilled Chicken with Peach Mint Salsa and Basil Lime Salad Dressing

I’ve been holding out on recipes lately in particular savoury ones so here are a bunch!

Peach Bourbon Chicken:

Marinade: equal parts olive oil and lime juice. Add salt, pepper and chili powder.

Marinade butterflied chicken breasts for about an hour.

Peach Bourbon Glaze:

In a blender/food processor or magic bullet combine:

One large peach pealed with the pit removed

1/4 cup bourbon

1/4 cup of maple syrup

1 tbsp of salt

1/2 cup of chopped tomato (I just threw in two very large cherry tomatoes)

1 clove of garlic

1 tsp of chili powder

Blend until it’s liquid.

Remove chicken from the marinade and cover in the glaze. Place on preheated grill, add more glaze as it grills until cooked through.

Peach Mint Salsa:

2 Large peaches pealed and cubed

1 jalapeno chopped finely

2 or 3 chopped green onions

1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint

splash of olive oil

Juice from one lime, you can also add the lime zest for extra flavour.

add salt and that’s it!

Basil Lime Salad Dressing:

This really simple but I love this dressing and I keep around just to dip cucumber slices in!

Blend:

2 or three cups of fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup of olive oil

Juice from one lime

1 clove of lightly roasted garlic

salt and pepper
