This grilled mojito chicken recipe is the perfect dinner to make during this heat wave we are about to get. If you didn't know… now you know - it's about to be in the 90’s for the next week. Anyways. This recipe is topped with grilled peaches which makes it that much more refreshing than the mojito marinate already makes it!

Ingredients: 1 pound chicken breasts 2 peaches, pitted and sliced 1/4 cup lime juice ¼ cup olive oil 2-3 drops of stevia liquid honey *optional 2 teaspoons chopped mint ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper Instructions: In a ziploc bag combine lime juice, stevia, olive oil, mint, salt and pepper. Close the bag and shake to mix ingredients. Place chicken breasts in another ziploc bag and use a meat tenderizer to flatten them into even sizes. Then add half of the mojito marinade into the bag and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. While waiting for the chicken to marinate, preheat the grill to medium heat Remove chicken from the bag and season with another pinch of salt. Place the chicken and sliced peaches on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side (depending on how thick your chicken is), until cooked through. Grill the peaches for the same amount of time as the chicken then remove and place the peaches in a bowl or plate. Pour the leftover mojito marinade onto the peaches and serve them on top of the chicken. Garnish with some more fresh mint if desired and enjoy!
