Ingredients

• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup whole-grain mustard or Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup lemon juice from 2 lemons
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic grated
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 6 Persian cucumbers cut into 1½-inch pieces
• 2 peaches pitted and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro loosely packed and chopped
• 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup lemon juice from 2 lemons
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the honey mustard marinade by mixing honey, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro, grated garlic, curry powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a bowl.
2. Reserve a portion of the marinade to use as a dressing for the salad.
3. Add chicken thighs to the remaining marinade. Toss to coat and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
4. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken until fully cooked and crispy on the outside, about 6-8 minutes per side.
5. Prepare the peach salad by smashing cucumbers and slicing peaches. Combine them with chopped cilantro, mint, and reserved marinade.
6. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the peach salad. Garnish with additional mint and cilantro if desired.
