A unique and flavorful dish combining the sweetness of strawberries with savory grilled chicken, perfect for a refreshing summer meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with half of the balsamic mixture.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  5. While chicken is cooking, toss the sliced strawberries with the remaining balsamic mixture in a bowl.
  6. Once the chicken is done, transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Top the grilled chicken with the marinated strawberries and garnish with fresh basil.
