Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Peaches
• 6 cups Mixed spring greens
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.5 cup Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

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 skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the peaches. Wash them thoroughly, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Slice each half into thin wedges.

Step 4

In a dry skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5

Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed spring greens, sliced peaches, feta cheese, toasted pecans, and sliced chicken.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the peaches.

Step 8

Serve immediately, dividing the salad onto four plates. Enjoy your Peach Chicken Spring Salad!
