Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped shallot
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 4 peaches, halved and pitted
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 8 cups baby arugula
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- For the dressing: Whisk 4 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl until well mixed.
- Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil onto cut-side of peaches.
- Place peaches, cut-side down, onto grill and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer peaches to a plate.
- Brush remaining oil onto both sides of chicken breasts and season with salt.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into thin pieces and cut peaches into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- Toss arugula and dressing together in a bowl. Divide dressed arugula among plates; top with peaches and chicken.
- Please note the substitution of plums for peaches when using the magazine version of this recipe.

Added feta, loved it!
I made a couple changes, and it was delicious. Since its been hot out lately, I used cubed cold chicken and didn’t sear the peaches, I sliced them up cold and added feta cheese. Yum!
Concur with others who used the dressing on both the peaches and the chicken. Also added walnuts which helped add some crunch and texture to the bed of greens. Served with a baguette, some sautéed “fairy” eggplant pieces and a nice pink wine. Such a nice summer treat!
Using our home grown arugula made it special, however, store bought is ok too.
This recipe was simple to make. I cheated and used grilled chicken nuggets 🙂 I did grill the peaches to a nice char… the dressing was delicious too. I will be using the dressing for other salads all summer 🙂 Thanks !!!
I made this and it was delicious! My husband who doesn’t always care for salads as a dinner had 2 helpings! I did not grill my peaches, added candied pecans, blue cheese, avocado, and cucumbers. It was so dang good. If you haven’t tried it, you must!?
I was worried it would be bland but everyone loved it and it was so quick. I put the marinade on the peaches and also the tomatoes and mushrooms and squash I grilled
Great salad. I added some walnuts and feta but the flavors just pull together great. I really loved the contrast of sweet grilled peaches and the tangy zip of basalmic and pepper.
Will add less salt to dressing next time, otherwise fantastic!
I used just the dressing portion of this recipe to make a tasty salad dressing. I used red onion instead of shallots, and tossed the dressing with butter lettuce. Then I topped the salad with fresh peach slices and chopped pecans. Yummy!
Peaches and chicken were great. I would have preferred a sweet dressing for the arugula. The dressing was good, but not for this application imho.
Delicious! The dressing is sooo good! A nice summer meal. I cut the chicken breasts into large strips to bbq and they cooked a little quicker and were very moist. Served with corn on the cob – perfect!
I took the advice of others and brushed the dressing on the peaches and chicken before grilling. We served it with some focaccia bread. Excellent, super easy meal. I used nectarines instead of peaches, which took a little knife work to cut around the seed in order to separate the halves.
Very tasty. Have made this before. A very refreshing summer meal!
So good! I had peaches that were ‘Just a bit’ overripe and this was AMAZING! Simple, healthy, easy, delicious.
Simple and excellent
Added a bit more balsamic vinegar to the dressing and salt and pepper to the chicken. This is a simple and delicious summer salad.
Drizzled balsamic glaze on the chicken and peaches after the saladwas assembled
