8 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peach preserves or jam
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
• 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 8 chicken breasts
• 4 ripe peaches, cut in half and pitted

Directions

1. Combine the peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, garlic and jalapeno in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup. 
2. Preheat the grill. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Brush both sides with the peach glaze and continue cooking until done, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. 
3. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill and grill for 2 minutes. Turn over, brush with the reserved 1/2 cup of peach glaze and grill until the peaches are soft, 3 to 4 more minutes.
