Apricot-Balsamic Glazed and Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup apple juice or cider
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves or peach preserves
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• olive oil, for drizzling
• 4 chicken breast halves
• salt & pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat grill to medium-high, brush off the grates to remove crusty, gritty stuff.

2. 2

   While that's heating up, bring preserves and vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan; lower the heat and simmer until thick and syrupy (7-8 minutes or longer).

3. 3

   While THAT's cooking, drizzle oil over the chicken (on a plate or in a bowl); season with S & P; grill until cooked through (about 6 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Remove chicken from grill to a serving platter, drizzle jam-vinegar mixture over the meat and serve!

5. 5

   We had this with potato wedges baked in foil on the grill.

   Use any leftovers to make sandwiches for lunch the next day, or cut into bite-size pieces and add to a "grilled chicken" salad. Delicimosio!
