Great combination, I haven't thought of melon and chicken before but, we really liked this recipe. We cooked ours on the grill and used apricot preserves (a little more flavorful than peach). The spice was not overwhelming at all but, we like spicy.

In my world a recipe is a guideline to cooking and can be altered to suit one's taste.
I collect cookbooks for a hobby and have made at least one recipe from each one.
