Strawberry Chicken
Strawberry Chicken! Strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil turn this simple dish into a unique, spring chicken recipe! Served with a salad or sautéed vegetables, it’s a great way to liven up a weeknight chicken dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar good quality
- 1 tablespoon water extra if mixture is too thick
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves cut into ribbons or finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese optional
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries sliced, optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt on both sides and place in pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side or until a nice golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar, and water in a small bowl. When chicken is just about finished cooking, pour mixture over the top, nestling the chicken breasts into the sauce and scraping up brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat and bring sauce to a simmer, letting it bubble for 2-3 more minutes or until it has reduced and thickened a bit. Stir in most of the basil, and simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove chicken breasts from pan. Pour sauce over the top of each piece. Sprinkle with a little goat cheese if desired and garnish with remaining basil and sliced strawberries.
