Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 3 fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- 3 ears fresh corn, husked
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh lima beans or edamame, cooked
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or rice, warm
Instructions
- 1Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 400–450°F. Oil the grates lightly so nothing sticks.
- 2Toss the chicken thighs with one tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin until evenly coated. Let them sit while the grill heats.
- 3Brush the peach halves and whole ears of corn with a little olive oil and salt. Place chicken, peaches (cut-side down), and corn on the hot grill.
- 4Grill the chicken 5 to 6 minutes per side until nicely charred and the thickest part reaches 165°F. Grill peaches 2 to 3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and they soften. Grill corn, turning every few minutes, until kernels are charred in spots, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer everything to a cutting board.
- 5While the grilled items rest, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and zucchini and cook until just tender-crisp with light browning, 4 to 5 minutes.
- 6Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cooked lima beans or edamame; cook just until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 7Cut the kernels from the grilled corn cobs and dice the grilled peaches into bite-size chunks. Slice the chicken into strips.
- 8Fold the corn kernels, diced peaches, lime juice, honey, and most of the cilantro into the skillet vegetables to create a bright grilled succotash. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
- 9Divide the warm quinoa or rice among four bowls. Top each with a generous scoop of the peach-corn succotash and sliced grilled chicken.
- 10Finish with crumbled feta or cotija and the remaining cilantro. Serve immediately while the peaches are still warm and the corn still smoky.
