Grilled chicken with Calicutts Ranch & Sweet & Smoky BBQ blends, a sweet grilled corn-peach relish, herb potatoes, and a Ranch-lime crema. An easy summer dinner.
This is high summer on a plate. Chicken rubbed with two blends — Sweet & Smoky BBQ for the char, Ranch for the tang — grilled and sliced over herb-roasted potatoes, with a grilled corn and peach relish piled on top. The thing that makes it sing is the Ranch-lime crema you drizzle over the whole plate. It pulls the sweet, the smoke, and the bright all into one bite.
Quick scan: Smoky-tangy grilled chicken over crisp herb potatoes, with a sweet grilled corn-and-peach relish and a cool Ranch-lime drizzle tying it together. A little sweet, a little heat, a little char — the kind of dinner that tastes like a cookout but comes together on a Tuesday.

Recipe Note
Pro tips
The crema is not optional. It's the thing that takes this from "three nice things on a plate" to one dinner. Don't skip it.
Heat to taste. The jalapeño balances the sweetness of the peach and corn. Leave it out for the kids' plates, add it back to yours.
Make it ahead-friendly. Season the chicken and make the crema in the morning. The relish is best the day of, but takes ten minutes.
