A delightful dish combining tender grilled chicken marinated in a sweet honey mustard sauce with a vibrant peach salad.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
For the Peach Salad
- 2 pieces ripe peaches, sliced
- 5 cups mixed greens (like spinach and arugula)
- ½ piece red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional) Can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the Grill
- Preheat your outdoor grill over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove until hot.
Grill the Chicken
- Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the Salad
- In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens, sliced peaches, red onion, feta cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette.
Serve
- Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over the peach salad for a delightful meal. Drizzle any remaining honey mustard sauce over the top if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, marinate chicken for 2 hours or overnight. Use ripe peaches for a sweeter salad, or substitute with nectarines or plums if peaches aren't available. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
