TO MAKE THE SALAD
If the chicken breasts are thick, cut them in half horizontally to make thinner pieces that will cook faster.Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil.Once oil shimmers, add the chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Once the chicken is cooked, set it aside to cool as you prepare the dressing and the rest of the salad. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes, then thinly slice it.In a large bowl, add the lettuce, and top with the peaches, raspberries, sliced chicken and feta cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and enjoy!
