Ingredients

  • 3-4 large chicken breasts
  •  3 tbsp olive oil
  •  3 garlic cloves crushed
  •  1/2 tsp sea salt
  •  1/2 tsp pepper
  •  2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  •  1 cup chopped fresh basil
  •  3 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze*

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating a large skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic, cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  2. Prepare your chicken breasts: you may need to pound the breast to make them a bit thinner, mine were approximately 1 inch. Salt and pepper each side, add to pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side (until golden brown, but cooked through). Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Toss together strawberries, basil, balsamic and 1 tbsp olive oil. Top each chicken breast with strawberry mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Add additional balsamic glaze or balsamic if needed. Serve immediately.
