Chipotle Peach Chicken

Preheat time: 15min
Prep Time: 5min
Cook Time: 12min

Ingredients: 
6-8 Fresh Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
2t Chili Powder
2t Garlic Powder
1/2t Ground Coriander
1t Sea Salt
1t Cumin
1/2t Chipotle Powder
1/2-3/4C Naturally Sweetened Peach Jam/Jelly 

Instructions: 
Mix seasonings together in a bowl. We have an electric grill, so I just set it on high (it will take about 15min to heat up) Once it's fully hot, place chicken on grill and sprinkle with seasonings on top.  Grill 6 min on one side and then flip to other side. Sprinkle the rest of the seasoning on top of the second side. If you have left over seasoning, you can save it in a bag. Warm your jelly/jam in a pan or microwave until it gets a little runny. After about 4 min on the second side, take your jelly/jam and brush it on the chicken. Turn your chicken and do the same on that side.  Grill for another 1-2 min and you're done! Serve the extra jelly/jam on the side at dinner if you have dippers :) Enjoy!

Author: Lauren Geertsen - "Ever since my ulcerative colitis diagnosis six years ago, I constantly learn how diet, emotions, and lifestyle fit together as the key to healing chronic disease. For five years, I tried to use medication to manage my colitis, but the traumatic side effects pushed me to reevaluate my complacent attitude. After reading and researching the healing power of nutrition and mind-body medicine, I realized I could cure myself… but only with complete dedication and determination."
