Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 2 pieces ripe peaches, sliced
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cups slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, watermelon cubes, peach slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and chopped fresh mint to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle toasted slivered almonds over the top.
