Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups peach preserves
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

  • About 2.50 to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together peach preserves, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside about one-quarter of the marinade.

  5. Brush with reserved marinade during grilling for added flavor.
  6. Serve immediately—optionally garnished with fresh cilantro or peppers.
