This grilled chicken, topped with mozzarella cheese and grilled peaches, makes for a flavorful, delicious, and healthy dinner. After eating this chicken not only will it satisfy your sweet tooth, but you will feel healthy and energized!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, sliced in half
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 6 oz mozzarella cheese
• 3 fresh peaches, sliced
• 6 tbsp balsamic glaze (I buy mine at Trader Joe’s)
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
• To serve: Grilled or baked asparagus or summer squash, and sweet potatoes, corn, or brown rice

Instructions:

1. In a gallon size plastic bag, combine sliced chicken breasts, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Rub around for a few minutes, and let the chicken sit in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
2. If grilling or baking your vegetables, season with cooking spray, salt, and pepper. Bake on 400 F degrees for 15 minutes, or grill on high heat until soft.
3. Over high heat, grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes, each side, flipping in between.
4. Add the peach slices to the grill, and grill for 2-3 minutes.
5. Once the chicken reaches 145 F degrees, add the mozzarella cheese and let it melt while continuing to cook, or until it reaches 165 F degrees.
6. Take the chicken off, serve with grilled peaches, 1 tbsp balsamic glaze on each chicken piece, and top with chopped basil. Enjoy!!
