Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallot

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ 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. For the dressing: Whisk 4 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl until well mixed.

  3. Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil onto cut-side of peaches.

  4. Place peaches, cut-side down, onto grill and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer peaches to a plate.

  5. Brush remaining oil onto both sides of chicken breasts and season with salt.

  6. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into thin pieces and cut peaches into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

  7. Toss arugula and dressing together in a bowl. Divide dressed arugula among plates; top with peaches and chicken.
