Ingredients

  • 3-4 large chicken breast
  • 1-2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar + more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating a large skillet to medium heat.

  2. Prepare your chicken breasts: you may need to pound the breast to make them a bit thinner, mine were approximately 1 inch. While the skillet is heating up, marinate the chicken with garlic and balsamic vinegar.

  3. Add oil to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side (until golden brown, but cooked through). Set aside.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Toss together strawberries and basil. Top each chicken breast with strawberry mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Add additional balsamic vinegar if desired. Serve immediately.
