Bourbon Peach Glazed Chicken Breasts

What better way to celebrate Kentucky Derby weekend than with the flavors of Bourbon and peach?  Actually you can celebrate any weekend with this delicious dish! With every bite of the Bourbon-infused glaze and seasoning spices you'll be transported to a beautiful warm sunny southern place, with or without horses and fancy hats! The spices and glaze are also fabulously delicious on pork and beef too! I tip my pretty hat to the Kentucky Derby and over a century steeped in tradition and the hope of a Triple Crown winner!
