Grilled Chicken and Peach Salad

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
1 pound peaches (3 or 4 small), halved and pitted
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups baby arugula (10-ounce package)



Heat grill on high; set grill rack 4 to 6 inches above heat source. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Grill chicken, turning once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 5 to 8 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Coat peaches with cooking spray; spread skin side up on grill grates; grill, turning once, until juicy but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. In a salad bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, oil and 1 tablespoon water. Toss with arugula. Divide arugula among 4 plates. Slice chicken and peaches; distribute evenly among plates. 

 I love the vinegar taste on arugula so I put vinegar on the table to add a few splashes if anyone wants them!
