Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 cup Peach Preserves
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Garlic Sauce adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro optional, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Peppers optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Grill
  • medium bowl
  • Zip-top bag
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, low-sodium soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into a zip-top bag, then pour the prepared marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, gently squishing it to ensure all pieces are coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of around 375°F to 400°F. Clean and oil the grill grates.
  4. Remove the marinated chicken from the bag and discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken breasts directly onto the preheated grill and grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the reserved marinade over the chicken.
  6. Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced peppers.
