Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

1 red onion, cut into wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade for the chicken.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

      Soak Skewers (if using wooden): If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

          Assemble the Skewers: Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken, peach wedges, bell pepper chunks, and onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a vibrant look.

            Grill the Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the peaches are slightly charred.

              Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Chicken & Peach Skewers warm, drizzled with any remaining marinade if desired.
