Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey maple syrup can be substituted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and pan-sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens into a glaze.
  • Stir the diced strawberries into the balsamic glaze. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the strawberries soften slightly and release their juices without becoming mushy.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them to coat, and spoon the warm strawberry balsamic glaze generously over the top.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil, and serve immediately.
