½ cup peach preserves 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 4 chicken breasts

Luscious Chicken Wrap

Instructions

Step 1

Start by mixing the peach preserves, vinegar, horseradish, ginger, salt, and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave on high for about 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through until the preserves melt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 2

While the marinade cools, rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Put the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour the cooled marinade over it. Seal the bag and pop it in the fridge for anywhere between 6 and 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally to make sure the chicken soaks up all those flavors.

Step 3

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill over indirect heat, close the lid, and let it cook gently. It should take about 30 minutes for the chicken to get nicely browned and fully cooked through. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the chicken moist and tender. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the peaches may change.
