Pepper peach chicken on pretzel rolls.

After making the yummy pepper peach jam I wanted to try it as a spicy sweet marinade for a different twist on grilled chicken for my homemade pretzel rolls.  If you have never tried pepper peach jam or salsa before give it a try it's deliciously spicy and sweet!  This meal was very easy, and pretty quick.

I used about a half a cup of peach pepper jam and combined it in a glass mixing bowl with a few tablespoons of olive oil, chopped onion, chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.  If you don't have peach pepper jam I think using raspberry jam would taste great too!

 

Add the chicken, mix together, cover and refrigerate for about an hour minimum.  The longer it marinates the more infused the flavor will be.

 

I used a grill pan to get pretty grill lines on the chicken...this is really not necessary a regular skillet will work just fine. cook until the chicken is done.  Add 1/2 cup of chicken stock to the pan to de-glaze the pan and then add the remaining marinade to create a sauce.  Cook until all the vegetables are soft and the sauce starts to thicken slightly. 

 

 

 

 

And Done!  Eat like this over rice, shred the chicken and mix with the sauce to eat on a bun, or eat the chicken pieces alone with the sauce.  I choose to place the whole chicken tenderloins on a pretzel roll and cover with the sauce.

 

The sweetness of the pretzel and the sauce go so nicely together, and it finishes with just a little heat from the jalapeños.  Bon Appetite!

 

 

 

Enjoy your kitchen adventures!
