Gwyneth Paltrow's Grilled Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce

Chelsea Mills • September 13, 2020

An easy homemade sauce and marinade to change up the typical grilled chicken routine.

I first came across this recipe in the June 2011 edition of Bon Appetit Magazine. I finally had a chance to make it and it is absolutely fabulous. I froze the extra sauce to use again on a later date. Served this with Risi Bisi and corn on the cob.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pound chopped peeled fresh peaches or 16 ounces frozen sliced peaches, thawed, chopped
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless organic chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until peaches are very soft and flavors meld, about 10 minutes. 
  2. Remove pan from heat; let cool. Use an immersion blender and purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  3. Place half the sauce in a medium bowl; add the chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or cover and chill for up to 8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
  4. Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill chicken until browned and almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Brush on all sides with reserved sauce; grill until glazed and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. 
  5. Slice crosswise. Serve remaining sauce alongside.

This recipe I created from looking up various pizza twist recipes. The inspiration comes from the Boston's pizza twists.

This is a recipe I found in 2011 from Real Simple and thought sounded fantastic. I finally got around to making it and it was incredibly easy and tasted wonderful too.
