Ingredient IQ
There are multiple conflicting stories on the origin of the caprese salad. What we do know is that it was popularized in the 1950s on the Isle of Capri near Naples. Composed in the colors of the Italian flag—including white mozzarella, red tomatoes, and green basil—it’s thought to be a patriotic tribute to Italy and is now enjoyed throughout the country.
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Set the chicken breasts on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until lightly charred and the meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the chicken crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
While the chicken cooks, start preparing the salad ingredients.

2

Make the peach caprese salad

  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ⅓ cup [½ cup].
  • Cut the peach in half and remove the pit; cut the fruit into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Cut or tear the mozzarella into ½-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, peach, mozzarella, and red pepper vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the peach caprese salad to individual bowls, top with the chicken, and serve.
