Categories     Salad

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 Tbsp olive oil (, plus more for brushing grill)
1/3 cup slightly packed chopped fresh basil
2 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 oz Spring Mix lettuce
1 lb peaches (, sliced (about 3 small))
2 ears corn (, husked and kernels cut from cob)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (, toasted)
1/2 small red onion (, sliced thin (about 3/4 cup), rinse under water to remove harsh bite)
4 oz Goat cheese (, crumbled)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, basil, garlic, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp of each). Using the back of a spoon, press basil against sides and bottom of bowl (to help extract flavor from basil). Place chicken in a resealable bag and pound thicker parts of chicken to even thickness with a meat mallet, then pour basil mixture over chicken and evenly distribute basil over chicken. Seal bag while pressing excess air out, rub marinade over chicken and transfer to refrigerator and marinate 2 - 5 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to 425 - 450 degrees over medium high heat. Brush grill grates lightly with olive oil then place chicken on grill. Grill until cooked through, rotating once halfway through cooking, about 4 - 5 minutes per side (chicken should register 165 degrees in center of chicken on an instant read thermometer). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes then slice into strips or dice into cubes.
  • Whisk together all ingredients until well blended and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to use, stir again before pouring over salad.
  • In a large salad bowl gently toss together lettuce, peaches, corn, pecans, onions, and grilled chicken. Sprinkle goat cheese over top and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve immediately after adding dressing.

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons fleur de sel* or fine sea salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
4 small skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
