Instructions

1. Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to 3/4-inch thickness. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let marinate 15 minutes.

2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Clean and oil grates.

3. Halve peaches and remove pits. Lightly brush cut sides with 1 tsp olive oil.

4. Grill chicken 5-7 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.

5. Grill peaches cut-side down 2-4 minutes until marked and softened. Slice into wedges.

6. Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and pepper for dressing.

7. Toss mixed greens with half the dressing. Arrange on a platter or plates.

8. Top with sliced chicken, peach wedges, and torn basil. Tear burrata into pieces and nestle on top.

9. Drizzle remaining dressing over salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm freestone peaches. Bring burrata to room temperature before serving. Store components separately if making ahead: chicken and peaches keep 2-3 days in fridge. No grill? Pan-sear chicken and peaches in a hot skillet.
