Grilled Balsamic Chicken, Cherry, and Peach Kabobs

A perfect summer night dinner with grilled cherries and peaches on a kabob with tender and flavorful balsamic chicken!

These delicious kabobs were super fun to make and eat! I love the addition of fruit to flavorful chicken. I am not much of a fruit girl, but I absolutely love it in the summer on a hot day with my dinner. Sadly, cherry season is short lived. I could seriously eat my weight in cherries just about everyday, but I know this can only last 2 months out of the year. I savor cherry season, and find a way to incorporate one of my favorite fruits in just about anything! Insert kabobs, some peaches, and a grill…….

I used one of my favorite marinades for this chicken. Balsamic, honey, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and a little dijon mustard. I let the chicken marinate for about 2 hours, but even just 30 minutes is fine. Be sure to cut the chicken into small pieces, as the peaches and cherries grill quickly. If kabobs aren’t your thing, you can also toss the chicken and fruit into a grilling basket or pan. The grilled cherries and peaches compliment the chicken perfectly, and make this dinner one the entire family will love. We served with couscous and salad for a complete meal, but this also pairs perfectly over some greens!
