Grilled Chicken Breasts with Cucumber-Peach Salsa

A brush of peach preserves pumps up the flavor of grilled chicken breasts. The fruit and veggie salsa is a delicious bonus.

1/3

1

1

  • 1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix cucumber, 2 tablespoons of the preserves, the mint, salt, onion and peach; set aside.
  • 2 Carefully spray grill rack with cooking spray. Place chicken on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing 2 or 3 times with remaining peach preserves, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Discard any remaining preserves. Serve chicken with salsa.

Expert Tips

The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Making it ahead will actually allow the flavors to blend.

If you're using a charcoal grill, plan on about 40 minutes to prep the grill and heat charcoal to the correct temperature. Gas and electric grills will take about 10 minutes.

Serve this fruity chicken dish with steamed broccoli, sliced garden-fresh tomatoes and seasoned rice.

My husband loved it, going back for THIRDS! I made the salsa in the afternoon and marinated the chicken in the preserves. Then when my husband got home from work, I set it the salsa on the counter while I grilled the chicken, so it would be closer to room temperature. It was easy and really good! Definitely a success in my home!

Cold salsa on warm chicken was not a hit. Recommend heating it first without the cukes so it is more of a sauce consistency. I heated my leftover salsa sauce and it brought out the mint and flavors and then I added the salsa fruit & veggies etc. Tasted much better. Will try it again heated.
