Things To Grab
Directions
- For marinade, in a medium bowl whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and black pepper. Pour in a large resealable plastic bag set in a bowl. Add chicken to bag; seal and turn to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator at least 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- Meanwhile, for salsa, in a medium bowl combine peaches, bell pepper, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, lime peel, lime juice, rice wine vinegar and brown sugar. Cover and chill until serving time.
- Prepare half a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium heat and the other half for indirect heat.
- For peach glaze, in a small saucepan melt butter. Stir in preserves; simmer until glaze consistency; keep warm.
- Oil grill grates. Remove chicken from marinade; discarding marinade. Grill chicken over direct heat for 8 minutes, turning once. Move chicken to indirect heat side of grill and continue to grill for 35 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees.

Recommended Pairing
Sauvignon Blanc
This light-bodied wine often has bright aromas and flavors of apples, pears, gooseberries, tropical fruits, and melon balanced by strong acidity. Pair dry styles with chicken, light salads, fish, and cheeses like goat cheese. Sweeter styles are best with rich foods like foie gras.
