Description

This Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken with Peach Salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for summer dining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 5 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by creating your marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Then, set aside three tablespoons of this mixture for your salad dressing later on.
  2. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate. For maximum flavor, consider marinating for up to four hours if time permits.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, ensuring a nice char and cooking all the way through. Meanwhile, grill your sliced peaches for 1–2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.
  4. While your chicken is resting, toss the mixed greens, grilled peaches, red onion, cheese, and nuts in a large bowl. Top the salad with the sliced, rested chicken. Drizzle with the reserved marinade to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately for the best taste experience.

Notes

Ensure your grill is clean to prevent sticking and to achieve those perfect grill marks. Allow chicken to rest after grilling to redistribute the juices, ensuring a moist bite every time. Use high-quality mustard and honey for the best flavor outcome. If peaches aren’t in season, nectarines or plums make suitable substitutes.
