Ingredients

Juicy Grilled Chicken

Salad

  • 10 cups arugula
  • 2 medium peaches, halved and pits removed (300 grams)
  • 1 cup heirloom tomatoes, wedged or chopped (150 grams)
  • 1 1/2 oz prosciutto torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup roasted, lightly salted pumpkin seeds (28 grams)
  • Optional: 1/3 cup goat cheese crumbles

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (2 fl oz)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (1 fl oz)
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey (1/2 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (1/2 fl oz)
  • 1/2 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Instructions

  • Prepare the dressing. Whisk together balsamic vinaigrette ingredients.  Set aside.
  • Prepare the chicken. Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add brine mix and stir until dissolved. Pour over ice in a flat bottomed resealable container. Add chicken, then add additional water as needed until chicken is submerged. Brine for at least 5 hours or up to 12 hours.
  • Remove chicken from brine and rinse with cold water. Pat dry on a paper towel, then pound down the thicker end of the chicken breasts until they are even thickness across. 
  • Rub the chicken with 1 tsp olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and Oh My Spice! seasoning.
  • Grill the chicken. Turn your grill on to medium high-heat (7 or 8 out of 10). Allow it to pre-heat until the temperature reads 400°F. Add chicken breast, grilling 6 minutes on one side before flipping. Grill another 5-6 minutes or until a thermometer in the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F (they will continue cooking to 165° after removing from grill). Set aside to rest at least 5 minutes. Note: Depending on your grill, you may need to turn the flames down to medium heat (5 or 6 out of 10) after flipping - you want to get back up to about 400° without overshooting by much.
  • Grill the peaches. Turn heat on the grill back up to medium high (7 or 8 out of 10). Brush any chicken debris off the grill grates. Spray peaches with coconut oil, then place on the grill cut side down.  Grill for about 3-4 minutes, rotating 90° halfway through to acheive the classic grill marks. Remove and set aside, slicing if desired before serving.
  • Build the salad. Arrange salad with arugula, tomatoes, sliced peaches, torn prosciutto, grilled chicken, and pumpkin seeds.  Top with goat cheese, if desired.  Pour vinaigrette over salad just before serving.
