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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
