  3. Brush the corn and peaches with oil. Sprinkle the corn with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the corn for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. Set aside to cool, then slice kernels off the cob.
  5. Grill the peaches cut-side down for about 1-2 minutes or until grill marks form and they’ve softened slightly. Remove and let cool.
  6. Grill Chicken If needed, wipe down your grill pan or grill. Reheat to medium-high and brush or spray once more with oil.
  7. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oil.
  8. Grill each breast for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside to rest, then thinly slice.
