Peach and Cucumber Salad with Roasted Chicken:
- 2-3 cups butter lettuce (or any tender greens)
- 2 ripe peaches (or any stone fruit), sliced
- 1 large cucumber, halved and sliced into half moons
- 1 cup thinly sliced fennel
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Directions
- Cook the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breast with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill, bake, or pan-sear until fully cooked (internal temp: 165 F). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
