  3. In another bowl, combine peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to make the peach salsa.
  4. Refrigerate salsa until ready to serve.
  5. Grill, bake, or pan-sear chicken until fully cooked to 165°F internal temperature.

  8. Top bowls with sliced chicken and spoon peach salsa over each serving.
  9. Add optional toppings like avocado, black beans, or corn and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Fresh lime juice gives the brightest taste.
  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than chicken breasts.
  • Store chicken, rice, and salsa separately for meal prep.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb version.
  • Skip jalapeño for a mild family-friendly bowl.
