Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
1 pound peaches (3 or 4 small), halved and pitted
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups baby arugula (10-ounce package)

Steps:

  • Heat grill on high; set grill rack 4 to 6 inches above heat source. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Grill chicken, turning once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 5 to 8 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Coat peaches with cooking spray; spread skin side up on grill grates; grill, turning once, until juicy but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. In a salad bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, oil and 1 tablespoon water. Toss with arugula. Divide arugula among 4 plates. Slice chicken and peaches; distribute evenly among plates.
