Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 2 whole Ripe peaches
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.5 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cups Pecans, toasted
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken cools, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges, and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the salad greens.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted pecans over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Arrange the sliced chicken over the salad. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful Chicken and Peach Salad!
