Jalapeno Peach Chicken

 

It’s playoff time! Whether it’s the World Series, the Stanley Cup or the SuperBowl, this recipe works for all seasons.

 

It’s time for comfort food, snack food, food that’s easy to eat as we flip from channel to channel. Sometimes the neighbors host the gatherings, so we like to have food that is not going to spill during transport.

 

One of my buddies came up with this one. Spicy & sweet in the same mouthful. Depending on what kind of pepper jelly you are able to score at the grocery, it can be mild or fiery hot. We like jalapeno jelly, but even that comes in levels of fire. Habanero would light the grill all by itself.

 

Let the games begin!
