Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups peach preserves
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup chili garlic sauce
- or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- or to taste
- about 2.50 to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- I used 4 medium sized breasts

- optional for garnishing (serrano

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine peach preserves, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, olive oil, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and your choice of peppers, if desired.
Notes
You can adjust the spiciness by modifying the amount of chili garlic sauce in the marinade. Serve with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
