You can enjoy this delicious, super-fast, smothered chicken dish within 20 minutes. Don’t worry if your peach is not perfectly ripe; grilling helps intensify the fruit’s natural sweetness.

Grilled Peach and Brie Smothered Chicken

Active Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes
Serves 4
  • 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
Preheat grill to medium-high.

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

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 degrees 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 degrees F and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more.

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.
