Instructions

Cut a chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thinner cutlets. Repeat with the second breast.
In a small bowl or ziploc bag, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates if needed.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 4–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Grill the Peaches. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with a bit of olive oil. Place cut side down on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until char marks appear and peaches are slightly softened. Slice into wedges.
Make the Dressing. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar.
Assemble the Salad. In a large bowl or platter, arrange the mixed greens. Top with sliced grilled chicken, grilled peach wedges, red onion, goat cheese, and pecans.
Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
