Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Let rest for 3 minutes, then slice.
While chicken is grilling, brush peach wedges with remaining olive oil. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly softened and grill-marked. Set aside.
Arrange mixed greens on a large platter or individual plates. Top with mozzarella pieces, cherry tomatoes, and grilled peach wedges.
Nestle sliced chicken over the salad and sprinkle with torn basil.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
