Preparation

Step 1
Whisk together the cumin, orange juice and chili powder. Wash and dry the chicken breasts and place in orange juice mixture, turning to coat both sides. Allow to marinate for one or two hours.
Step 2
Prepare a charcoal fire and allow to burn down until a gray ash covers all the coals.
Step 3
Combine tomatoes, peppers, nectarines and chili with maple syrup, lime juice and cilantro in a serving bowl. Set aside.
Step 4
Brush chicken breasts with a little olive oil. Grill breasts, cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, browning on both sides.
Step 5
When chicken is cooked, arrange on salsa.
