Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 Package Bell & Evans Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 TB Extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 Handful fresh basil, roughly torn
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • 4 Ears corn, husks removed
  • 2 Peaches, halved and pitted
  • 6 Cups Arugula or mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 Cup Crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 Avocado, sliced

Dressing

  • 1 Small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 TB Dijon mustard
  • 1 TB Honey
  • 1 TB Lemon juice
  • 3 TB Champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 Cup Extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. Chop 1 TB basil. Add to a medium bowl with 1 TB olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
  2. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Reduce heat, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165°F as measured on a digital thermometer. Remove from grill and set aside to cool.
  3. Brush corn and cut sides of peaches with remaining tablespoon olive oil. Grill 5 to 8 minutes, or until corn and peaches have browned lightly and caramelized. Remove from heat. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cobs and slice peaches.
  4. Meanwhile, make dressing: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, or jar with a tightly fitting lid, and whisk, or shake vigorously, to combine.
