Chicken Salad With Fresh Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, chicken, cucumber and onion; set aside. In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mint, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. Drizzle over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Use a slotted spoon to serve on lettuce-lined plates.

Steps:

• Cut 1 peach into 1/3-inch pieces; place in large bowl. Add chicken and onion. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Cover and chill 15 minutes to 2 hours.
• Add lettuces and walnuts to chicken mixture and toss to coat, adding more dressing, if desired. Mound salad on large plate. Cut remaining peach into thin wedges. Garnish salad with peach wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Boil chicken breasts for 20 minute cool and cube.
• peel peaches (if desired) and dice.
• roughly chop walnuts.
• thinly slice green onions.
• combine chicken, peaches, onion and walnuts in large bowl.
• combine dressing ingredients, mix well.
• pour over chicken mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve put salad greens into individual bowls and mound chicken/dressing mixture on top.
• Or place serving bowls of both the chicken and salad greens and let people dish their own.
• A fresh loaf of herb bread compliments this salad for a complete meal.

Steps:

• 1. Toast the almonds: Place a single layer of nuts in a skillet. Over medium-low to medium heat, stirring constantly, toast until golden and fragrant. (Be careful not to burn them.) When cool store in an airtight container.
• 2. Poach the chicken breasts: Add chicken to a large pot of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. I like to add a chicken bouillon cube and seasoned salt to my water for extra flavor, but it's not necessary.
• 3. Drain chicken breasts. When cool, shred (or dice if you prefer).
• 4. In a bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 5. Add chicken, cucumber, peaches, and onion to the bowl. Mix gently.
• 6. Chill. When ready to serve, sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
• 7. * If you don't like the strong flavor of onions in your chicken salad, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes and drain. This makes the flavor mild.

Steps:

• Heat grill on high; set grill rack 4 to 6 inches above heat source. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Grill chicken, turning once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 5 to 8 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Coat peaches with cooking spray; spread skin side up on grill grates; grill, turning once, until juicy but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. In a salad bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, oil and 1 tablespoon water. Toss with arugula. Divide arugula among 4 plates. Slice chicken and peaches; distribute evenly among plates.
