Ginger-Peach Marinated Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• ½ cup peach preserves
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 4 chicken breasts

Step 1

Combine the peach preserves, vinegar, horseradish, ginger, salt, and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave on high for about 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the preserves have melted. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, place them in a resealable plastic bag and pour the cooled marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and pop it in the fridge to marinate for anywhere between 6 and 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally so the chicken soaks up all the flavors evenly.

Step 3

When you're ready to cook, fire up your grill to medium-high heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Put the chicken on the grill, but over indirect heat (not directly over the flames). Cover the grill and let the chicken cook slowly, turning occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and cooked through—this should take about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once it’s done, take the chicken off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
