Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger (minced), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until combined. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- 2Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until shimmering. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer and cook for 6–7 minutes until golden brown on the first side.
- 3Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 6–7 minutes over medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes while covered loosely with foil.
- 4While the chicken rests, dice the peach, jalapeño, and bell pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the cilantro and mince the onion. Combine all salsa ingredients in a small bowl with the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- 5Slice the rested chicken breasts into meal-prep portions. Divide the chicken evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm. Spoon the peach salsa over each portion, distributing evenly.
- 6Allow the containers to cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
