  5. Transfer the chicken and peaches to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken into strips and cut the peaches into wedges.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth.

Notes

Grilling the peaches enhances their natural sweetness and adds a subtle smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the chicken. Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape on the grill.
