Summer Citrus And Peach Chicken Salad
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Dressing:
- 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tomatillos, husked and quartered
- 1 shallot, quartered
- 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, or to taste
- Salad:
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
- 4 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- dried orange slices (such as Simple & CrispTM), or more to taste (optional)
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Drizzle chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place chicken on a flat work surface and slice crosswise into strips.
- Place orange juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, tomatillos, shallot, jalapeno, vinegar, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 pepper in a blender. Puree until dressing is smooth.
- Place salad greens in a bowl. Drizzle dressing on top. Add chicken, peaches, avocados, and mint. Crumble dried oranges and sprinkle over the salad.
