- Cooking spray
- 1 cup finely chopped peeled peach (about 1 peach)
- 1 cup finely chopped peeled nectarine (about 1 nectarine)
- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 cup 1/2-inch diced plum tomato (about 3 tomatoes)
- 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved (about 8 olives)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 3 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Chicken:
- 2/3 cup minced shallots
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0.
- To prepare panzanella, place bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 450u0b0 for 4 minutes or until toasted.
- Heat a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add peach, nectarine, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cook 2 minutes or until chopped fruit is lightly browned, stirring the mixture frequently.
- Combine the fruit mixture, tomato, olives, basil, onion, and capers in a large bowl. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar with olive oil, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add vinegar mixture to peach mixture; toss gently to combine. Let stand 30 minutes. Toss with bread just before serving.
- To prepare chicken, combine shallots and next 5 ingredients (shallots through 1/8 teaspoon black pepper) in a large zip-top plastic bag; add chicken. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Saute chicken in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Slice chicken; serve with panzanella. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
