End your day on a sweet note with these chicken-and-peach kebabs brushed with a honeyed citrus glaze.

Ingredients:
• cooking spray
• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 16 1-1/2-inch pieces, all visible fat discarded
• 2 large ripe but firm peaches, cut into 16 1-inch wedges
• 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 16 1 1/2-inch squares
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/8 tsp. salt

Glaze:
• 3/4 tsp. grated orange zest
• 3 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
• 3 Tbsp. chopped, fresh rosemary
• 1 1/2 tsp. honey
• 1 1/2 tsp. canola or corn oil

Directions:
1. Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium.

2. Meanwhile, thread the chicken, peaches, and bell pepper alternately onto four 14- to 16-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle the pepper and salt over the kebabs.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Set aside half the glaze (about 2 tablespoons). Brush both sides of the kebabs with the remaining glaze.

4. Grill the kebabs for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are almost tender, turning once halfway through and brushing with the reserved 2 tablespoons of glaze, using a clean basting brush. Reduce the heat or move the kebabs to a cooler area of the grill if they are cooking too fast.

Cook’s Tip: Ripe but firm peaches are important for this recipe. The direct heat softens and sweetens the fruit, even if it’s not quite at its prime.

Healthy Swap: You can replace the peaches with other stone fruits, such as nectarines and plums.
