Why This Combo Works
- Sweet & Savory: The acidity in the BBQ sauce balances the sugary peaches, while the chicken soaks up all the juices.
- No Grill Needed: Get that summer flavor year-round using just your oven’s broiler.
- Low Effort: Thread them, bake them, and enjoy—minimal cleanup required.
What You’ll Need
- 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 3 firm but ripe Peaches (cut into wedges)
- 1 Red Onion (cut into chunks)
- 1/2 cup Your favorite BBQ Sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika & Salt/Pepper
- Wooden or Metal Skewers
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Season: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Thread: Alternately thread chicken, peach wedges, and red onion chunks onto the skewers.
- Bake: Place skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Glaze: Remove from oven, brush generously with BBQ sauce, and return to the oven under the **Broil** setting for 2-3 minutes until charred and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve over quinoa or a fresh green salad.
Chef’s Tip: Use “freestone” peaches if possible—the pit pulls away easily, making it much simpler to get clean wedges for your skewers!
