Preparation

Step 1

•Sprinkle salt over garlic and chop, occasionally smearing mixture with blade of knife, until paste forms. Whisk garlic paste, vinegar, and thyme in a medium bowl. Add cheese; mash with the back of a fork until cheese is finely crumbled. Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise. Season dip to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with assorted vegetables.
•Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until peaches are very soft and flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat; let cool. Pour peach mixture into a blender and purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place half the sauce in a medium bowl; add the chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or cover and chill for up to 8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
