Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and/or romaine)
2 fresh peaches, sliced
1/4 cup candied pecans
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
For the Balsamic Vinaigrette: 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced peaches, candied pecans, crumbled blue cheese, and red onion. Add the sliced grilled chicken on top.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
