Barbecued Chicken Breast with Spicy Peach Glaze

We had the Kerns over for dinner yesterday (Lynette and I were missionary companions) This is what we grilled.

1 cup peach preserves or jam
1 large cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
2 Tablesspoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayeene pepper
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken breasts (about 5 pounds), split
4 ripe peaches, cut in half and pitted

1. Pre heat grill to medium hot. In a medium mixing bowl, combine preserves, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to combine.

2. Sprinkle chicken breast with additional salt and pepper, and place, skin side down, (I do skinless) on the grill. Cook the chicken about 10 minutes one each side before brushing the upturned side with glaze. Continue cooking chicken for another 10 to 12 minutes, turning it every 3 to 5 minutes and brusing each
 upturned side with glaze every time, until the chicken is cooked through. Move chicken to the oven or a cooler part of grill if it gets too dark before it is cooked through.

3. Place peach halves on the grill, cut side down, and grill 2 minutes. Turn, and brush the tops with glaze. Grill 3 to 4 minutes, more until the peaches are soft and the cavities fill wiht juices. Transger the cooked chicken and peaches to a serving platter. Serves 8 Enjoy!!

We made this last summer for the first time. Sooooooo yummy. We didn't do the peaches because it not the season. But trust me you are going to want to try the peaches in the summer. They are amazing!!

Leslie I know he would if he would try it. But because he would not I made my vegetarians a turkey roast. Made out of mushrooms. Amazing what they have in the way of fake meat.
