Strawberry Basil Chicken

A vibrant and refreshing dish that pairs succulent chicken with the sweetness of strawberries and the aromatic flavor of basil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken by patting it dry and seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Sear the chicken in a skillet with olive oil until golden-brown on both sides.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover with foil to keep warm.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for richer flavor or tofu for a plant-based option. Pair with a light salad or risotto for the ultimate experience.
