Grilled Peach & Brie Smothered Chicken

Serves 4

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

1 pound chicken cutlets

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided

1/4 teaspoon salt plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided

1 firm ripe peach, halved

4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, plus more for garnish

1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

2. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt.

3. Oil the grill rack. Grill peach halves, cut-side down, until lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 160 F, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and top the chicken with the peach slices and cheese. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 F and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more.

4. Whisk oil, vinegar, tarragon and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add arugula and toss to coat. Serve the chicken on top of the arugula. Garnish with more tarragon, if desired.
