Recipe - Basil-Garlic Chicken Breasts With Peaches

1 cup Balsamic vinegar
One fourth cup Molasses
2 tablespoon Freshly cracked black pepper
One half cup Basil; roughly chopped
3 tablespoon Garlic; minced
One fourth cup Olive oil
4 Whole boneless chicken
breasts**
Salt and freshly cracked
black pepper, to taste
4 Peaches; halved and pitted

NOTE: ** 10 to 12 ounces each. If you can't find boneless chicken breasts
with the two halves still attached, substitute 8 halves.

INSTRUCTIONS: In a small saucepan over mediumhigh heat, bring the vinegar
to a boil and cook until it is reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in
the molasses and black pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the basil, garlic and olive oil, and
mix well. Rub the chicken breasts with this mixture, sprinkle lightly with
salt and pepper, and grill over a medium fire, skin side down, until the
skin is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the breasts over and grill for
another 6 minutes. To check for doneness, nick one of the breasts at the
fattest point; the meat should be fully opaque with no traces of pink.

As the chicken breasts are finishing up, place the peaches on the fire, cut
side down, and grill until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Flip
them over, brush the cut side with the balsamic glaze, and continue to cook
for another 2 minutes. Remove the peaches from the grill, give them another
coat of glaze, and serve whole or cut or sliced up with the chicken breasts.
