Recipe by Jay Decker, Medina, WA Jay Decker combines barbecued chicken, sweet nectarines, tangy goat cheese, and toasted pecans in a great entrée salad. Prep and cook time: about 25 minutes.

Ingredients

2/3 cup pecan halves 2 quarts salad greens (8 oz.), rinsed and crisped 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup walnut oil (or more vegetable oil; see 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 4 boned chicken breast halves with skin (2 lb. total), rinsed, patted dry, and fat trimmed Salt and pepper 2 firm-ripe nectarines (12 oz. total), rinsed, pitted, and thinly sliced 5 ounces fresh chèvre (goat cheese), crumbled

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Spread pecans in a baking pan and bake until golden under skins, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Mound salad greens on four dinner plates. In a small bowl, stir vegetable oil, walnut oil, and vinegar to blend. Set aside. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Lay on a lightly oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until meat is no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 15 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Remove skin if desired. Slice chicken across the grain 1/2 inch thick; arrange over greens. Tuck nectarine around chicken. Scatter goat cheese and pecans over the top. Stir dressing; pour over salads. Add salt and pepper to taste.
