  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 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

Creating Strawberry Basil Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it’s fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Prepare Baking Dish: While the chicken is marinating, grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
5. Arrange Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later.
6. Bake Chicken: Bake the chicken for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
7. Add Strawberries: After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and scatter the sliced strawberries over the top. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the strawberries.
8. Finish Baking: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
9. Add Basil: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil on top.
10. Let Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.

These steps will guide you to create this incredible dish effortlessly, ensuring a delicious outcome each time.
