Ingredients
4
boneless, skinless chicken breast(s)
2 tsp (10 mL)
vegetable oil
1
onion(s), finely-chopped
2 tbsp (30 mL)
sugar
3/4 cups (175 mL)
merlot
1/3 cup (75 mL)
low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL)
balsamic vinegar
4 tsp (20 mL)
ginger, finely-chopped
3/4 tsp (4 mL)
cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1.25 mL)
pepper
2
peaches, fresh
1 tbsp (15 mL)
chives, fresh, chopped
Instructions
1
In a skillet over medium high heat, sauté onions and sugar in oil until golden (4-5 minutes). Stir in wine, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, cinnamon and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Put chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in half of the onion mixture; close bag and refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate remaining onion mixture to use in the sauce.
3
Heat barbecue on medium. Remove chicken from marinade, discard marinade and grill chicken until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°F (74°C) (about 15 – 20 minutes).
4
Blanch peaches in boiling water for 1 minute to make it easier to peel them. Peel, pit and slice peaches. Bring remaining onion mixture to a boil and cook until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Stir in peaches and cook until just heated through. Spoon some sauce over grilled chicken and top with chives.
