Bobby Flay Peach Chicken Ingredients

• 2 cups peach preserves or jam
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
• 1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 8 frenched chicken breasts (Airline chicken breasts)
• 4 ripe peaches, cut in half and pitted

How To Make Peach Chicken

1. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the peach preserves, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, and chopped jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper. Important: Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture in a separate bowl for glazing the peaches later.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Glaze and Finish: Brush both sides of the chicken generously with the main batch of peach glaze. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, turning once more if needed, until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
5. Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill grates. Grill for 2 minutes until char marks appear. Flip them over. Brush the cut sides with the reserved 1/2 cup of peach glaze. Continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes until the peaches are soft and warm.
6. Serve: Serve the glazed chicken alongside the grilled peaches.

Recipe Tips

• What is a “frenched” chicken breast? Also known as an “Airline” chicken breast, this is a boneless breast with the drumette part of the wing still attached. The bone adds flavor and makes for an elegant presentation. You can use regular boneless, skinless breasts, but reduce the cooking time slightly.
• Watch the sugar: Peach preserves have a high sugar content. When you apply the glaze in step 4, keep a close eye on the chicken. If the grill is too hot, the sugar will burn before it caramelizes. Move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill if it starts to char too much.
• Jalapeño heat: For a milder glaze, remove the seeds and white ribs from the jalapeno before chopping. For more heat, leave them in or use a serrated knife to chop the pepper finely.
• Choosing peaches: Use peaches that are ripe but still firm. If they are too soft or overripe, they will fall apart on the grill. Freestone peaches are easiest to pit.

What To Serve With Peach Chicken

This fruity, glazed chicken pairs perfectly with fresh, summery sides.

• A crisp Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese
• Grilled Corn on the Cob
• Cold Pasta Salad
• Couscous or Quinoa

How To Store Peach Chicken

• Refrigerate: Store leftover chicken and peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat gently in a 350°F oven until warm. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it can make the chicken rubbery.
