1 t. honey (remember you can buy the sugar-free kind if you cannot tolerate real honey)

Pour half of the honey mixture over the chicken breasts.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the peach slices.  Pour the rest of the honey mixture over the peaches and cook for a few minutes  until the peaches are tender, but not mushy.

Grill the chicken breasts.  Let rest for a few minutes and slice on bias....an angle and then plate with the peaches.
