Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped

1/2 cup peach preserves

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for richer flavor.

      Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using the oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

        Cook the Chicken:

          - Grilling Method: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is caramelized.

            - Oven Method: Place the marinated chicken in a greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. You can brush some extra marinade on top halfway through for added flavor.

              Make the Peach Glaze: While the chicken cooks, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce it for about 5-7 minutes until thickened. If desired, add the chopped peaches and cook until softened.

                Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the peach glaze over the chicken before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro for added freshness and color.

                  Enjoy: Serve the Peachy Delight Chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
