Pureeing a peach into the BBQ sauce is a wonderful way to add natural sweetness and to give the sauce some extra body. We left the peels on the potatoes for added fiber but you can peel them if you prefer. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes before use so they don’t burn.

Instructions

  1. To make BBQ sauce, in a food processor or blender, combine quartered peach, mustard, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, table salt, cayenne, and liquid smoke; process until smooth. Loosen sauce with 1 to 2 tbsp water; set aside.
  2. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil; add potatoes and boil until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain; set aside.
  3. Place chicken in a bowl; toss with 2 tbsp BBQ sauce.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Using 8 (10- to 12-inch) skewers, alternately thread 3 pieces chicken and 2 pieces each sweet potato, peach, onion, and green pepper onto each skewer. Coat skewers with cooking spray; season with kosher salt. Grill skewers until chicken is cooked through, generously brushing with sauce a few times towards end of cooking, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  6. Serving size: 2 skewers and 2 tbsp sauce
