Once marinated, drain the chicken of the marinade stock and thread it onto 10-inch-long skewers. If using a charcoal grill, place chicken on the grill for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink. Make sure to turn it occasionally. On a gas grill, preheat the grill and reduce to medium heat before placing skewers on the rack and covering.
As for the salsa, in a small bowl, combine peach, sweet pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno pepper.
Dip your chicken skewers into the salsa and enjoy!
