Ingredients: 1 cup peach spreadable fruit; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce; 1 tablespoon ground mustard; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each); 8 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted

My grandmother gave me this recipe, which I lightened up. My children loved it when they were little, and now my grandchildren ask for it when they come over. The peaches are delicious hot off the grill. -Linda McCluskey of Cullman, Alabama

Ingredients

1 cup peach spreadable fruit
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
8 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; set aside. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally with some of the reserved glaze. Transfer to a serving platter; keep warm.
Grill peaches cut side down for 8-10 minutes or until tender, turning and basting every 2 minutes with remaining glaze. Serve with chicken.

Made this on a rainy, summer day and used my grill pan instead of the outdoor gas grill ~ it was a huge hit and a great way to use up peaches! Since it worked great on the grill pan I can make dark, cool days a little sunnier!

This was just fantastic! I served it on a bed of rice and had green beans w/ slivered almonds as my veggie! This will be a regular addition to my menu!
