• In a shallow dish, combine flour and half of the salt and pepper, set aside 2 teaspoons for sauce.
• In remaining flour mixture, coat chicken well; shake of excess.
• In a large frypan, heat oil over medium heat; cook chicken, turning once, for 15 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
• Transfer to plate and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, peel and pit peaches; cut into wedges.
• Add onion, garlic and reserved flour mixture to skillet; cook, stirring for 3 minutes.
• Pour in stock and lemon juice; bring to boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from bottom of pan.

GRILLED PEACH AND BASIL FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Wash all fresh ingredients. Slice the tomatoes wedges to desired thickness - add to salad bowl. Slice the red onion in thin strips - add to bowl.
• Slice the peaches in halves and pit them. Place the peaches on a hot grill (face down) for approximately 3 minutes - until they have grill marks, but are a little firm. Slice the grilled peaches to desired thickness (I like a little thinner than the tomato) - add to the bowl.
• Combine all ingredients for the vinaigrette together in a separate bowl and then add to tomato, onion, and peaches - lightly mix.
• Add the basil - add as the whole leaf, do not slice (think lettuce).
• Crumble the feta in, if you wish for more - feel free to add, if you wish for less - add less.
• Mix all ingredients together well.
• I finish by adding some extra feta on the top, and you're done!

LETTUCE, PEACHES AND BASIL

Steps:

• If you have time, toast walnuts over medium heat until fragant or use as they are.
• Wash lettuce and spin dry. Put in a large salad bowl.
• Wash and dry peach. Cut in 1/4 inch wedges from pit and add to lettuce.
• Tear basil into 1/2 inch pieces, sprinkle over peach.
• If using cheese for additional color and flavor, crumble over salad.
• Top salad with walnuts and mint leaves.
• For dressing whisk together all ingredients except oil until well blended. Add oil, mix well and taste for a nice slightly sour balance, there will be sweetness from the peach.
• Pour dressing over salad and mix at the table.
