Grilled chicken breasts with peach and onion relish - bon

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Ripe peaches (about 6 medium), peeled, pitted, cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
1½ cup Chopped red bell pepper
1¼ cup Chopped onion
2 tablespoons Curry powder
½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
½ cup Firmly packed golden brown sugar
½ cup Cider vinegar
½ cup Coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
6 Skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

Combine peach wedges and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl. Place chopped bell pepper and onion in medium nonstick saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.

Add curry powder and cayenne pepper to saucepan and stir 1 minute.

Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add cider vinegar; stir 2 minutes. Add peach mixture and accumulated juices to saucepan and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl and cool completely. Season peach relish to taste with salt and pepper. (Relish can be prepared up to 5 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Mix chopped cilantro into relish.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or broil chicken just until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cut chicken into thin diagonal slices. Arrange on plates; surround with peach relish.
