Grilled Balsamic Chicken and Peaches

 

Terrific for summer...
 

1 cup 

 

balsamic vinegar

 

¼ cup 

 

molasses

 

1 Tbs 

 

coarsely ground black pepper

 

½ cup 

 

roughly chopped fresh basil leaves

 

3 to 4 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

¼ cup 

 

extra-virgin olive oil

 

4 whole 

 

boneless and skinless chicken breasts

 

 

 

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

4 large 

 

fresh peaches, skinned, halved and pitted

 

 

1

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until it is reduced by half, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in molasses and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

2

in a medium bowl, combine basil, garlic, and olive oil. Rub chicken breasts with the basil mixture; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

3

Preheat grill (spray grill with cooking spray). Place chicken onto hot grill and brush with balsamic vinegar glaze. Cover grill with lid, open any vents, and cook 20 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature or 165°F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); turning and basting several times.

4

Just before chicken is fully cooked, place the peaches on the grill (cut side down). Brush the top side of the peaches. Grill until they are lightly browned, approximately 2 minutes. Turn them over, brush the cut side with the balsamic glaze and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.

5

Remove chicken and peaches from the grill, transfer onto a serving platter, and serve immediately.

 

Servings: 4
