Fresh Peach Chicken Sandwiches
Summer is about long, fun-filled days with family and for us it means a lot of time cooking and eating great food together. The kids love to get involved in the kitchen, which can be a real help when it comes to prepping at dinnertime. Not only do I encourage the kids to help with the cooking but also with the prep and shopping as well. It’s important that they know how what a recipe entails and how important fresh ingredients can be. The kids and I spend a lot of time at farmer’s markets picking out seasonal produce. Summer is the best time of year to visit a local farmer’s market, the weather’s great for strolling the aisles of beautiful and bountiful produce. All the fresh fruit can be inspirational for creating new fresh meals for family dinners.
Like the locally grown fruits and veggies from our farmer’s markets, Tyson® Fresh Chicken has a heritage of producing chicken raised by family farmers for over 75 years. Tyson Fresh Chicken is all natural* with no added hormones or steroids** and arrives at the store fresh, delivered within days from leaving the farm. Each piece is hand-trimmed for convenience to save time and effort, making meal planning easy.
Pairing fresh fruit with Tyson® Fresh Chicken is an healthy way to make simple, delicious summertime dishes that take no time at all. When shopping at the outdoor markets, my kids go right for the stone fruit. Fresh peaches, nectarines and pluots are gorgeous and ready to eat. The vendors always provide samples so I know just the right sweetness that will match with my dinner recipe. Stone fruit and chicken are a perfect match for easy, delicious recipes. These Fresh Peach Chicken Sandwiches are marinated, cooked, and when served, topped with slices of fresh peach to really compliment to the savory chicken. This easy to prep recipe is great to set out for summer parties, but my kids just love it as an everyday weeknight meal!

Fresh Peach Chicken Sandwiches
Ingredients:
8 Tyson Fresh Chicken Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 peaches, diced and smashed with juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 slice of ginger
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
salt and pepper
dinner rolls
1 peach, sliced
Instructions:
Pound the Tyson Fresh Chicken Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts evenly flat, then add them to a freezer bag along with the smashed peaches and juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice and lemon zest. Marinate for 6-8 hours.
Take out the chicken and discard the marinade. Oil up a grill either an indoor or outdoor grill, then grill the chicken for 4 minutes, flip and grill for another 3 minutes when a thermometer inserted in the chicken reads 155 degrees or until no longer pink inside.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice and place on dinner rolls.
Top with sliced fresh peaches to serve. Note: Chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees for boneless products and 180 degrees for bone in chicken products.

My favorite way to enjoy chicken in the summer is on the grill with BBQ sauce on it. The best taste!

BBQ’d on the grill and brushed with barbecue sauce. But adding peaches sounds delicious!
We like to put marinated chicken on the grill on skewers with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and pineapple, then eat it with brown rice.

In the summertime, my favorite way to eat chicken is in a salad. I grill it and have lots of leftovers for the week.
I love grilled chicken but I also like to use it in quick stir fry with all the wonderful fresh veggies from the garden.
