Easy Meal Ideas From Janet's Kitchen A tribue to early peaches   It’s not exactly peach season but I am seeing some from South America at the grocery store. You can use them for Roast Chicken Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Pecans or save the recipe for the summer when peaches are in their full glory. You could also use canned peaches, which won’t be quite as delicious but will work. Get them in very light syrup and blot on paper towels before adding to salad. Roast Chicken Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Pecans For dressing: 2 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 ½ tablespoons minced shallots 2 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice 2 ½ teaspoons maple syrup ¾ teaspoon Dijon mustard ¼ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper For salad: 2 cups shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast 2 cups sliced peeled peaches ½ cup vertically sliced red onion ¼ cup chopped pecans, toasted 1 (5-ounce) package gourmet salad greens 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese Combine first 8 ingredients; stir with a whisk. Combine chicken and remaining ingredients except cheese in a large bowl. Add vinegar mixture; toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese. Serves 4.
