Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, pitted and finely 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 mixing bowl, combine the peach preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to form a smooth marinade.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or, for an even richer flavor, allow to marinate overnight.

      Preheat the Grill or Oven: If you’re grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you prefer baking, set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).

        Cook the Chicken:

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

            - Oven Method: Transfer the marinated chicken into a greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked through. For an extra burst of flavor, brush some of the remaining marinade over the chicken halfway through the cooking time.

              Make the Peach Glaze: While the chicken is cooking, pour any leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. If desired, stir in the chopped peaches and cook until they are softened.

                Serve: Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Drizzle the peach glaze over the chicken before serving. For a pop of color and freshness, garnish with freshly chopped basil or cilantro.

                  Enjoy: Pair your Peachy Delight Chicken with your favorite sides, such as fluffy steamed rice, vibrant grilled vegetables, or a crisp fresh salad for a complete meal.
