Instructions
Grilled peaches and chicken:
- Chicken marinade: Mix mustard, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Add salt and pepper. Rub the chicken breast with this mixture. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour, if you have the time, or grill the chicken breast immediately.1 small chicken breast + ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard + 1 teaspoon olive oil + 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Grill peaches and chicken: Halve and pit the peach. Lightly spray or brush the peach halves with olive oil. Heat a grill pan on medium heat. Add the chicken and the peach halves, cut-side down. Grill for 5 minutes. 1 medium peach
- Flip the chicken and peaches: Continue grilling for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the peach halves are nicely charred and soft.
- Check doneness: If the peach is not as soft as you would like it to be, move it towards the side of the grill pan and continue grilling it at a lower temperature until done to your liking. Check the chicken by piercing it with a skewer, the juices should run clear.
- Let rest shortly: Remove both from the pan and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice the chicken.

Notes
- Servings: This recipe serves one, but you can easily make more. If the grill pan is not large enough for several portions, grill the tender chicken and the peaches in batches. It's preferable to assemble each serving for each person in an individual bowl.
- The pistachios are slightly salted and roasted in their shells. I weighed the pistachios after removing the shell. You will need a very small handful of shelled pistachios, exact weighing is not necessary unless you are counting the calories.
- Substitute pistachios for other roasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or pine nuts.
