Categories     Salad     Chicken     Leafy Green     No-Cook     Picnic     Lunch     Peach     Walnut     Spring     Chill     Bon Appétit     New York

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large ripe peaches or nectarines
2 cups dried cooked chicken
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/3 to 1/2 cup (about) purchased poppy seed salad dressing
6 cups mixed baby lettuces
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Cut 1 peach into 1/3-inch pieces; place in large bowl. Add chicken and onion. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Cover and chill 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Add lettuces and walnuts to chicken mixture and toss to coat, adding more dressing, if desired. Mound salad on large plate. Cut remaining peach into thin wedges. Garnish salad with peach wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is best for this recipe, but you can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using a whole chicken, roast it at 425°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F before shredding it.
  • Use fresh peaches: Fresh peaches are best for this salad, but you can also use canned peaches in a pinch. If using canned peaches, be sure to drain them well.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: A good quality goat cheese will have a creamy texture and a tangy flavor. Look for goat cheese that is made from fresh goat's milk.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The peaches and goat cheese will start to wilt if the salad sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This roast chicken salad with peaches, goat cheese, and pecans is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet peaches, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy pecans is irresistible, and the dressing is light and flavorful. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
