This Is My Fresh Summery Reset Meal.
Juicy teriyaki chicken, grilled if you want, served over rice with a scoop of bright gingery peaches, and a rich sesame drench getting into every bite.
YES PLEASE I love this meal!
My family’s summer eating has two basic modes:
- Fresh mode: vibrant, summery produce! crispy, juicy, colorful.
- YOLO mode: chips (so many chips), ice cream cones, hot dogs, fried chicken sandwiches, and packaged snacks that hit just right at the pool, on a road trip, or at the State Fair.
I truly love both of these categories. But once every few weeks, I start to sense myself going a bit hard into YOLO mode – typically after a road trip or an extended amount of pool days, which is where we’re at here at the end of summer.
This teriyaki chicken with ginger peaches has been my go-to meal for when I’m ready to get back to something a bit fresher.
I’ve made it as a bigger meal for my extended family – nieces, nephews, sibs, parents – where my dad helped me grill the chicken, we sliced up “plain peaches” for the kids, and almost all of us went back for seconds.
And I’ve also made it for a meal just for our family, because 9 out of 10 nights, I am looking for a way to just eat peaches for dinner (or, dessert).
Hope you love it, too!
