Grilled Chicken with Peach Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard 
• 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
• 1 pinch salt and ground pepper black to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
• 2 cups peach preserves 
• 4  peaches pitted ripe halved
• 8  chicken breast halves boneless skinless
• 2 tablespoons soya sauce 

Equipment

• bowl
• grill
• kitchen thermometer

Directions

1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken breast halves with salt and black pepper.
2. Stir peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and mustard in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Reserve about 1/2 cup peach sauce.
3. Place chicken on preheated grill; cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip chicken. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Brush both sides of the chicken with peach sauce. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5. Arrange peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 2 minutes, flip, and brush with reserved 1/2 cup peach sauce. Continue to grill until peaches are tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.
