Grilled Chicken Breasts with Cucumber-Peach Salsa

Choose Chicken

Chicken breast is a lean protein choice. Protein supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

Do-Ahead

The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Making it ahead will actually allow the flavors to blend.

Success

If you're using a charcoal grill, plan on about 40 minutes to prep the grill and heat charcoal to the correct temperature. Gas and electric grills will take about 10 minutes.

tasty and different

I made this for company. Everyone thought it was tasty! Some prep work ahead of time but by all means not hard to do!
