Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoon honey
4 teaspoon red wine vinegar
0.5 teaspoon curry powder
0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
0.25 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 nectarine, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces, or 1 papaya, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
