Run your fingers under the skin of each chicken piece to create a large pocket. Spoon mint mixture under skin, rubbing skin to distribute mixture evenly. Rub any leftover mixture all over chicken. Place chicken in a baking pan. Spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 50 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, make grilled peach salad. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle peach and mini paprika with 1/3 of olive oil. Cook paprikas, turning, for 5 to 8 minutes or until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate. Cook peach for 2 minutes each side or until charred. Transfer to plate.
Whisk remaining olive oil, vinegar and mustard in a jug. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the greens, baby paprika, and peach on a serving plate. Drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve chicken with salad.
