Description

This grilled chicken, peach, and arugula salad recipe includes a homemade shallot vinaigrette for a simply delicious summer salad to enjoy all season.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
4 peaches, halved and pitted
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
8 cups baby arugula

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Whisk ¼ cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
3 Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil onto cut-sides of peaches.
4 Cook peaches on the preheated grill, cut-sides down, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer peaches to a plate.
5 Brush remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil onto both sides of chicken breasts; season with salt.
6 Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in centers, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7 Slice chicken into thin pieces; cut peaches into ½-inch thick pieces.
8 Toss arugula with shallot vinaigrette in a bowl to coat; divide arugula among plates. Top with peaches and chicken.
