This peach chicken salad recipe spotlights Georgia peaches as a healthy alternative to sugary and destructive food snacks. Peaches provide natural plant compounds called flavonoids, which research suggests may help prevent cancer and heart disease. Combining chicken with soy sauce, honey, jalapeño, and pecans will make this recipe an all-time favorite!

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon seeded, finely minced jalapeno pepper

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves

8 cups mixed fresh salad greens

1/4 cup Cilantro Peach Vinaigrette

1 1/3 cups Peach Salsa

1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1. To make marinade, combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce and jalapeno pepper.

2. Place chicken in a shallow container or zip-top plastic bag and cover with marinade.

3. Marinate at least two hours in the refrigerator.

4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Preheat grill and cook chicken until done, (about 5 minutes on each side over medium hot coals).

5. Let chicken stand for 5 minutes, then cut into thin strips.

6. Toss salad greens in vinaigrette and arrange on a large serving platter or on four individual serving plates.

7. Top evenly with chicken, Peach Salsa and pecans.

Yield 4 Servings.
