Loved this! Teenage boy finished first serving then headed back to kitchen to prepare his second rather than wait for the cook to finish eating! Perfect recipe for delicious summer peaches. Used chicken breast that had been marinated in Kraft Zesty Italian dressing and barbecued the night before. Left-over chicken worked perfectly.

Preparation
