Method

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them generously with hot honey sauce.

  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium‑high heat (about 400°F / 400°F).

  3. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the surface is nicely charred.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken is charred outside and reaches the stated internal temperature. Turn it once during grilling for even cooking.

  4. While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus with avocado oil, garlic salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.

  5. Grill the asparagus for 3–5 minutes, turning once, until tender and lightly charred.

  6. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.

  7. Squeeze the lime juice over the salsa, toss gently, and season with additional salt or lime to taste.

  8. Prepare steamed rice according to package instructions (typically 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, simmer 15 minutes).

  9. Plate the grilled chicken, spoon the peach salsa over the top, add a serving of steamed rice, and arrange the grilled lemon asparagus on the side.

  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of sweet, spicy, and citrus flavors.
