For a more intense smoky flavor, use a wood-fired grill or add wood chips to your gas grill.
If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear the chicken and peaches in a skillet.
Feel free to add other ingredients like goat cheese, toasted nuts (pecans or walnuts work well), or a sprinkle of fresh herbs (basil or mint) for extra flavor and texture.
For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese or tofu.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
