Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 2 fresh jalapeños, minced (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for grilling or baking
Instructions
- Whisk together peach preserves, minced jalapeños, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. If baking, place the chicken in a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra peach glaze if desired.
Notes
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes but not more than 2 hours for the best texture. For milder heat, remove jalapeño seeds.
