Grilled Chicken with Peach Sauce
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
Method
-
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.
