minutesThis simple grilled weeknight meal is special and worth serving to guests. The marinade gets a one-two punch of peach from fresh peaches and ourย Peach White Balsamic Vinegar. Thyme, mustard and honey round out the marinating mixture which ย helps the lean boneless, skinless chicken breasts achieve full flavor. Serve these with a side of sweet potatoes and Cole slaw. Simply delish!ย
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Peach Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbl Dijon mustard
1 tsp Honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh or frozen peaches, mashed
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic, crushed
1 Tbl fresh thyme
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high and if using charcoal, create a cooler zone. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill on one side until golden brown with distinctive grill marks. Flip and lower heat (or move to cooler zone.)
- Continue cooking on second side until completely cooked through, firm to the touch, opaque white throughout with no visible pink and the juices run clear when pierced – about 8 minutes.
- Optional: The marinade can be used as a basting sauce or drizzle; however, for food safety reasons, it must be boiled on the stovetop for 2 minutes. This process will both rid harmful bacteria from the marinade and reduce it to a glazing consistency.
