Why a Chicken and Grilled Peach Salad?

Um, why not? I LOVE salads that are a meal and chicken is my favourite protein. It’s so easy and versatile so you can create some delicious meals. I’ve had a salad with chicken and strawberries, blueberries, various nuts and more but I realized I hadn’t done one with peaches.Hmmm, grilled chicken and grilled peaches, yum and instead of the usual salad I wanted to up my iron intake as I tend to be a borderline anemic so fresh spinach was an easy choice because I also love it!Instead of the usual vinaigrette, I decided to do a honey mustard dressing to add a bit of sweetness and flavour. so there is no vinegar or oil for this dressing, it’s just the honey and mustard. It’s a nice simple dressing that just adds to the flavour of this delicious and healthy summer recipe. If you’ve been following Powered by Mom for a while now, you know that we like to support local and when it comes to buying chicken we only buy chicken Raised by a Canadian Farmer and it MUST have the logo below on the packaging.

Why chicken Raised by a Canadian Farmer? 

Canadian chicken is a healthy choice that it’s grain-fed, free of added hormones and steroids, and raised right here in Canada according to nationally-set, high food safety and animal care standards. We’ve shared several reasons on the past but I’m going to highlight one today as it’s even more important now in these challenging times when many small businesses are closing and/or struggling:

• Canadian chicken farmers are committed to sustainability through innovation, by preserving the health of the land, providing value to Canada’s economy, & making affordable food for Canadians.

I also love the addition of the blueberries with this chicken and grilled peach salad as it adds a touch of tartness and sweetness depending on the blueberries themselves. It pairs perfectly with the grilled peaches and chicken and add the honey mustard dressing and you have perfection. Of course, you can eat this grilled peach salad with chicken without the dressing it’s tasty all on its own.Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about the HUGE contest I promised to tell you about.
