Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and lettuce)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (or pecans)

1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

      - Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

        - Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

          Assemble the Salad:

            - In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced peaches, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

              - Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts to the bowl.

                Add the Chicken:

                  - Slice the grilled chicken into strips and arrange them on top of the salad mixture.

                    Dress the Salad:

                      - Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

                        Garnish and Serve:

                          - Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste.
