Print This Recipe
The perfect summer dish, this chicken is even better served cold the next day.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup peach preserves or jam
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 chicken breasts, split (about 5 pounds)
4 ripe peaches, cut in half and pittedHeat a grill to medium hot. In medium mixing bowl, combine the preserves, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper; and mix well to combine.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with additional salt and pepper, and place, skin side down, on the grill. Cook the chicken about 10 minutes on each side before brushing the upturned side with glaze. Continue cooking the chicken for another 10 to 12 minutes, turning it every 3 to 5 minutes and brushing each upturned side with glaze every time, until the chicken is cooked through. Move chicken to oven or a cooler part of grill if it gets too dark before it is cooked through.
Place peach halves on grill, cut-side down, and grill for 2 minutes. Turn, and brush tops with glaze. Grill 3 to 4 minutes more, until peaches are soft and cavities fill with juices. Transfer cooked chicken and peaches to a serving platter.
