Grilled Chicken with Peach Sauce

Pork

My neighbor made this grilled chicken with peach sauce at a barbecue, and I had to have the recipe. It is so easy. You'll be surprised by what a wonderful flavor the peaches give to the chicken!

Ingredients

8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups peach preserves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

Description

Preheat the grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Stir peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and Dijon mustard together in a large bowl until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Reserve about 1/2 cup peach sauce for basting peaches.
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until golden brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 more minutes, then brush peach sauce on both sides of each breast; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Add peach halves, cut-side down, to the grill and cook for 2 minutes; flip and brush with reserved 1/2 cup peach sauce. Continue to grill until peaches are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
