Grilled Chicken with Peach Barbecue Sauce

Happy 4th of July!!!🇺🇸 

Don't you love it when the 4th of July lands on a Friday?🎆  Whether you're working over the holiday or taking an extended weekend, I hope that all of my fellow Americans will find some time to celebrate this weekend.🇺🇸  As for me, I'm partial to barbecues with family and friends to celebrate Americas Independence.🌭🥧 

Friday holidays are great for bonus day weekends but it also happened to be a very busy week for me so there was no time to make any holiday barbecue preparations.😟 Anyone else?💁🏻‍♀️ Not to worry - it's not to late to organize a festive holiday barbecue for today. 

Grilled Chicken with Peach Barbecue Sauce is one of my favorite last minute grill recipes.🍗🍑  No overnight marinating or lengthy prep work involved.  Chances are, you've got most of the ingredients that you'll need already in your pantry.  This bright summery barbecue sauce is quick and easy to whip up and it will make all your 4th of July barbecue dreams come true. 😅😋
