Instructions
-
Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the water, whisking continuously to combine the ingredients smoothly.
-
Cook the Glaze: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
-
Add Peach Flavor: Stir in the peach gelatin powder until fully dissolved. Add chopped peaches to the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated with the glaze.
-
Reserve the Glaze: Measure out 1 cup of the prepared peach glaze and set it aside for basting the chicken. Keep the remaining glaze for drizzling over the finished chicken.
-
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill and lightly oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook over medium heat. Grill the chicken for approximately 3 minutes per side.
-
Baste and Finish Cooking: Brush the chicken with some of the reserved glaze and continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes. Flip the chicken every 2 minutes, basting with the glaze each time you turn the chicken, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Serve: Discard any remaining basting glaze used during grilling. Serve the cooked chicken with the reserved peach glaze for drizzling or dipping.
-
Alternative Cooking Method: If you prefer to broil the chicken, preheat your broiler and cook the chicken under the broiler for the same amount of time as grilling, following the same basting and flipping instructions.
Enjoy this delightful, peach-infused grilled chicken that brings a burst of summer flavors to your plate! 🍗🍑🌟
