Chicken
Prepare the chicken for grilling. Mix the lemon zest with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper and drench the chicken breasts in that mixture. Heat the grill and over a gentle heat cook the chicken on both sides until golden but still moist in the interior.
After the chicken starts to turn golden add the nectarine halves to the grill and cook until warmed through.
Dressing
To make the dressing beat the cheese with a whisk, gradually adding the lemon and oil. Finally stir in the basil, season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Salad
To assemble, place the salad leaves on a large serving platter. Slice the warm chicken breasts and place on the salad with the nectarines. Drizzle over the dressing and garnish with the basil leaves.
