Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

6 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and romaine)

½ red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts

Olive oil, for grilling

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Honey-Lime Dressing:

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. This will help them brown nicely on the grill.

      Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        Grill the Peaches: While the chicken rests, grill the peach slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are slightly softened. This will enhance their sweetness.

          Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

            Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, grilled chicken (sliced), grilled peach slices, red onion, and feta cheese. Sprinkle the toasted nuts over the top.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

                Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Grilled Chicken Peach Salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for a cool summer treat!
