Instructions
  1. 1

    Make the dressing

    Whisk the balsamic vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper together in a jar until combined. It does double duty: 3 tablespoons go on the chicken as a marinade, and the rest gets drizzled over the finished salad.

  1. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing to a freezer bag or bowl with the chicken breasts, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a little more salt and pepper. Massage it in, then refrigerate 1 to 4 hours. Keep the remaining dressing in the fridge for later.

  2. 3

    Grill the chicken

    Preheat the grill and oil the grates. Grill the chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reads 165°F. Let it rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. 4

    Grill the peaches

    Halve the peaches and remove the pits, leaving the skin on. During the last few minutes the chicken is on the grill, brush the cut sides with a little olive oil and lay them flesh-side down. Grill 3 to 4 minutes, until caramelized with grill marks. Let cool, then cut into quarters.

  4. 5

    Build the salad

    Tear the butter lettuce into a bowl or spread it across a platter. Top with sliced cucumber, avocado, the grilled chicken, peaches, crumbled feta, and torn basil.

  5. 6

    Dress and serve

    Drizzle the reserved balsamic dressing over the top, or serve it on the side if you're saving leftovers — undressed, the salad keeps a day or two in the fridge.
