Grilled Chicken and Peach Salad with Peach-Sesame Vinaigrette
There’s no better ice-cream, cobblers, jams, or right off the tree, they’re tops!
Well, grilling ’em does amazing things too!
Grilled Chicken and Peach Salad with Peach-Sesame Vinaigrette
will become a new way to indulge in a (low-carb), satisfying meal that is just peachy!
With a sharp chef’s knife, slice chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
Put it in a zip-top bag and add 7 Up, soy sauce, and crushed garlic cloves.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight is even better.

- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken breast
- 2 cups diet 7-up (or any lemon-lime soda)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves, smashed garlic
- 2 to 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 onion, sliced into 8 wedges
- 1 sliced green pepper, sliced into wedges

Slice chicken breast into bite-size pieces. Put in a zip-top bag with 7-up, soy sauce, and garlic. Refrigerate for 4 hours or even overnight. Early in the day, wash and tear lettuce into bite-size pieces and layer with paper towels to crisp. Prepare kabobs by pitting and slicing peaches and threading them onto skewers lengthwise with 2 or 3 chicken pieces between. Also, make small kabobs of veggies, onions and peppers, to garnish with. Grill over medium heat till done. To compose each salad, divide green on 4 large plates. arrange sliced cucumbers, strawberries, carrot sticks, crossed like chopsticks. Top with 2 large skewers and then garnish with grilled onions and peppers. Drizzle with Peach-Sesame Dressing, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with love.

- 4 Tbsp. canola oil
- 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 6 Tbsp. rice vinegar, seasoned
- 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds, plus 4 Tbsp. for garnish
Mix peach, oils, honey and vinegar in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and add the sesame seeds. Chill for an hour before serving.
Oh. My. Word.
I see a lot of recipes out here in blogland, but very few which have made my mouth water looking at them as much as this one did. I am absolutely positive that my husband (who has to eat more chicken these days) will love this.
And I really love the little veggie garnish thingies too! Pretty AND tasty. We’re smack in Vidalia onion country here so it’ll be Vidalias for us.
This sounds delish, I think we will give it a try this week (I hope its going to be a busy week.)
One word – “wow”! This looks great, I’m shooting a link over to my foodie friend, she’ll love this-thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words you left the other day on my blog. Your words of encouragement and prayers are greatly appreciated!
I am going to try this recipe this week. All of your recipes are feasts for the eyes and tummy!:-)
This looks absolutely incredibly delicious. I am saving this one. Yum…..

I used to hate peaches. I mean really hate peaches, it was bad, I blame it on poor judgement and a 6 pack of peach wine coolers in high school. Anyway, 20 or so years later I’m back baby. I can’t get enough of them now. Can’t wait to try this one out! Thanks for the recipe.
Lots of yummy love,

LEGEND OF MARY’S BEAN is my Friday blog.
Have a great weekend.
I have a whole basket of chilton county peaches~ this looks awesome. Definitely a friday’s favorite!
Those look awesome. We love kabobs and I have peaches. Might have to give it a try.
We are a little bit behind here and our peaches are not ready yet, but I can’t wait to try these when they come out. I think I should try a whole week of cooking wonderful recipes I find on other blogs. My mouth is literally watering. I need to go to bed and get away from Foodie Fridays before I raid the fridge.
Wow. I’ve never heard of grilling peaches before! I guess we really do learn something new every day! Your kabobs look great!
Thanks for stopping by for Friday Favorites!
