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 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cups Pecans, toasted

Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the chicken cools, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Slice the peaches into thin wedges, and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the salad greens.
Step 5
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted pecans over the salad.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Arrange the sliced chicken over the salad. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful Chicken and Peach Salad!
