Why I love this Grilled Chicken Peach Salad
I mentioned in my post about my current diet, that I like to eat a green salad for lunch. (see the meal plan post here). Mostly, I eat a green salad on the day’s I’m working from home. But, when I go to school, my lunches look a little different. (see those here)
But, because it’s fall and the peaches are absolute perfection right now, I needed to add them to my regular grilled chicken salad. I LOVE how the final recipe came out, and will be legitimately sad when I can’t get more peaches at the fruit stand by my house.
How to make this salad
For this green salad, I started with some grilled chicken leftover from dinner last night. I love chicken tenders for this, but like to eat the leftovers within a day or two because they tend to dry out quickly.
- For the grilled chicken: I used a mini George Foreman countertop grill (It’s fine, but I have the super cheap one that doesn’t come apart to clean, which is annoying). But, it’s on my Christmas wish list to get a GOOD counter top grill. Hit me up with any recommendations you have! I also marinated this chicken before cooking last night, knowing I wanted to use it in this peach salad (full marinade ingredients below!)
- Cherry Tomatoes! I got these in my garden. They’ve been so sweet and delicious. I had no idea we planted orange cherry tomatoes until they were ready to harvest, but I don’t regret it one bit!
- Corn on the cob: Another fall favorite that I got at the fruit stand by my house! At the risk of sharing TMI, I love corn to check the rate of my digestion, if you know what I mean! If I can digest corn in 24 hours, I’m pretty happy about it. Ha!
- And greens of course! I default to romaine, but adding a variety of greens like spinach and kale is always a great idea!
- and finally, the dressing! Beyond the marinade, the only dressing I used was balsamic vinegar and salt! Seriously try it. It’s so good!

- Next, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the chicken on a baking tray. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until it is cooked through.
