Ingredients

Scale

Marinade Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cloves minced garlic (natural)
Salt and pepper to taste

Main Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, diced into bite-size pieces
2 ripe peaches, sliced into chunks
2 fresh jalapenos, sliced into chunks
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Natural gelling agent (optional, about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, minced garlic (natural), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until fully blended.
Cut and Marinate: Dice the chicken breast into even, bite-size pieces. Slice the peaches and jalapenos into similar-sized chunks. Toss them in the marinade, making sure everything is coated evenly. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
Assemble Skewers: Thread the chicken, peach slices, and jalapenos alternately onto skewers. Aim for a balanced ratio to ensure each bite delivers the spicy-sweet combo.
Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Carefully place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning regularly until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Garnish and Serve: Once off the grill, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the skewers and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Use even cuts of chicken and fruit pieces so they cook at the same rate.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Marinate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
Monitor peaches closely while grilling to avoid over-softening.
