Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce\n  <\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    Juicy grilled chicken and ripe peaches are an incredible\n    combination. This recipe turns fresh peaches into a\n    homemade BBQ sauce that's sweet, tangy, savory and just\n    smoky enough to taste like it belongs over an open flame.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    The peach BBQ sauce is what makes this chicken special.\n    Fresh peaches provide natural sweetness, while ketchup,\n    garlic, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and a little\n    smoked paprika give the sauce the familiar tang and depth\n    you expect from a good barbecue sauce.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    Part of the sauce is used to flavor the chicken before\n    grilling, while a separate reserved portion gets brushed\n    over the chicken toward the end. The result is tender\n    grilled chicken covered in a glossy peach BBQ glaze.\n  <\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<!-- QUICK FACTS -->\n<div class=\"pg-recipe-facts\">\n\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-fact\">\n    <strong>Prep Time<\/strong>\n    <span>25 Minutes<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-fact\">\n    <strong>Grill Time<\/strong>\n    <span>12\u201316 Minutes<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-fact\">\n    <strong>Serves<\/strong>\n    <span>4 People<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-fact\">\n    <strong>Grill Temperature<\/strong>\n    <span>About 400\u00b0F<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- RECIPE IMAGE -->\n<section class=\"pg-recipe-image-section\">\n\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-image-wrap\">\n\n    <img\n      src=\"https:\/\/www.progrill.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Grill-Chicken-with-Peach-BBQ-Sauce.webp\"\n      alt=\"Grilled chicken glazed with homemade peach BBQ sauce\"\n      loading=\"lazy\"\n      decoding=\"async\">\n\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"pg-recipe-caption\">\n    Grilled chicken finished with a sweet and tangy homemade peach BBQ sauce.\n  <\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<!-- INGREDIENTS + INSTRUCTIONS -->\n<section class=\"pg-recipe-main-grid\">\n\n\n  <!-- INGREDIENTS -->\n  <div class=\"pg-recipe-card\">\n\n    <h2>\n      Ingredients\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"pg-recipe-subhead\">\n      For the Chicken\n    <\/div>\n\n    <ul class=\"pg-recipe-list\">\n\n      <li>\n        1 1\/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1 tablespoon olive oil\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1\/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper\n      <\/li>\n\n    <\/ul>\n\n\n    <div class=\"pg-recipe-subhead\">\n      For the Peach BBQ Sauce\n    <\/div>\n\n    <ul class=\"pg-recipe-list\">\n\n      <li>\n        1 cup peeled and chopped fresh peaches\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1\/2 cup ketchup\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1 tablespoon soy sauce\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1 tablespoon brown sugar\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1 tablespoon Dijon mustard\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        1\/2 teaspoon smoked paprika\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        Pinch of salt\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        Freshly ground black pepper, to taste\n      <\/li>\n\n    <\/ul>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <!-- INSTRUCTIONS -->\n  <div>\n\n    <div class=\"pg-recipe-heading\">\n\n      <h2>\n        How to Make Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce\n      <\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Make the peach sauce first, then let the grill\n        do the rest.\n      <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"pg-recipe-steps\">\n\n\n      <div class=\"pg-recipe-step\">\n\n        <div class=\"pg-recipe-step-num\">1<\/div>\n\n        <div>\n\n          <h3>Make the Peach BBQ Sauce<\/h3>\n\n          <p>\n            Add the chopped peaches, ketchup, apple cider\n            vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar,\n            Dijon mustard, garlic and smoked paprika to a\n            small saucepan.
