This Tarragon Peach Salad is simple to throw together and whole30 compliant! Great to meal prep on Sunday for week!

Let’s use up those peaches people!! Today I am sharing this Tarragon Peach Chicken Salad that I am currently obsessing over!  To be honest I wanted to share this last week and had the photos all ready… until I realized I hadn’t written down the recipe!  I was pretty sure I remembered everything but I couldn’t chance it so I remade it yesterday and I think it’s even better now!  And I am pretty excited to have it in my fridge for the week.  I mentioned this on Instagram yesterday but the last week has been FULL of birthday parties and fun which of course means lots of not so clean food and drinks.  I don’t regret any of it because it was so much fun and going off track always makes you remember why I like to eat so well.  I woke up on Monday feeling lethargic, with a sore throat and that is just no way to live!

So this week I am doing a mini Whole30 reset to get back in gear and flush out all the mai tais and smores that have been consumed.  This brings us back to this chicken salad!  You probably know that I love chicken salads and adding fruit and nuts to them are an absolute must. I love the flavor of tarragon and think having a jar of dried tarragon in your spice rack is necessary! It is such a perfect flavor to transition into fall and goes perfectly with these fresh and ripe peaches.  My special hack for this recipe is chopping the chicken before you cook it!  I cut mine up with some kitchen shears and bake them rather than having to chop the chicken after and losing the moisture then. Okay let’s jump into the recipe!
