Grilled Chicken, Peaches and Arugula
Ingredients:
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 TBSP plus 1 TSP olive oil, kosher salt &
black pepper
2 med red onions, sliced into
1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 peaches, cut into wedges
1 bunch arugula, thick stems removed
(about 4 cups)
2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
2 oz blue cheese, broken into pieces
Directions:
Heat grill to medium-high. Brush the chicken with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a bowl, toss the onions, peaches, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken and onions until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are tender, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill the peaches until charred, 2 minutes per side.
Toss the arugula with the onions, peaches, vinegar, and remaining oil. Top with the cheese; serve with the chicken.
Home Warranty a MUST
When you buy a home, you take on the extra burden of maintaining a variety of systems and appliances. Sellers are required to disclose known problems but can’t be blamed for passing along a washing machine that conks out six months after the sale, or a seemingly healthy oven that is headed for an untimely death. That’s when a 2-10 HBW ResaleSM home service agreement goes to work. Email or call me for rates.
