A deliciously flavorful, juicy grilled chicken
This is a reposted recipe. It such a yummy easy way to grill up a healthy quick dinner. I wanted to dust it off, update it and share it again. It’s such a good summer grilling recipe. Enjoy!
It’s grilling time! I have been craving the charbroiled flavor of grilled meat. Tonight I begged Dave to fire up the grill for the first time this summer. Dave grilled this flavorful, marinated chicken to perfection. Moist, delicious and perfectly done. My tummy is feeling heavenly right now. My mouth still remembers all those happy flavors.
I found a REALLY GOOD fruit spread at Costco. Run on down to your local grocery store and see if they have E.D. Smith Peach Mango Fruit Spread. It’s lower in sugar than regular jam and makes an Excellent chicken marinade! Just passing it along. Not a paid endorsement. But this is good and I wanted you to know about it.
Balsamic peach mango grilled chicken. Brush the chicken with marinade while grilling to really cook the flavors into the meat!
To make this marinade TOTALLY from scratch using fresh peaches and mangoes TRY THIS.
- Put the peaches and mangoes into a blender and puree them, sans the pits and skins of course.
- To thicken the puree, heat on the stove, sweeten with your favorite sweetener(I would try pure maple syrup) or sugar substitute if you like, and bring it to boiling.
- Add 1 Tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a little water. Now boil the sauce a minute or so, until it thickens a bit and looks rather clear than milky.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before finishing the marinade. Now add the other marinade ingredients and whisk until smooth.
I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS! this is an idea for those of you who have the adventurous spirit or can’t find this preserve or a good low sugar substitute and wish to give it a go. I will be putting this on my “to do” list as well. I will update this post if I come up with the perfectly proportioned scratch recipe. For today, I’m going with E.D. Smiths because it makes dinner so easy.

Pour the remainder on your chicken breasts and let them sit covered two hours (all day if you want) in your fridge. When the grill is heated up. Cook the chicken 10 minutes a side or until done.
TIP: Brush with extra marinade as desired. Retain some of the marinade for a dipping sauce, or pour a bit over a side dish. It’s so good!
