Steps:
- For the Chicken: Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on the smooth side of each breast. Place in the skillet seasoned side down and cook without disturbing until brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the top side of the chicken and flip. Cook 1 minute over the burner; then transfer the skillet to the oven until chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Place on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- For the sauce: smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with the salt, and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Transfer to a blender with the parsley, mint, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Pour into a small bowl and adjust seasoning. Deglaze pan with the sauce, if desired, and serve with the chicken.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish, so it's important to use the best you can find. This means using fresh, organic produce, free-range chicken, and high-quality olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a meat thermometer. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest. After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Make sure the peaches are ripe. For the best flavor, use ripe peaches in the salad. Ripe peaches will be soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Use a good quality prosciutto. The prosciutto in the salad should be thinly sliced and of good quality. Look for prosciutto that is not too salty or dry.
Conclusion:
This lemon and herb chicken with peach and prosciutto salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. The chicken is moist and flavorful, the peaches are sweet and juicy, and the prosciutto adds a salty, savory touch. The salad is easy to make and can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a summer picnic or barbecue.
