Description
Juicy grilled chicken marinated in balsamic vinegar, topped with fresh strawberries, creamy feta, and fragrant basil for a sweet and savory meal that feels light, vibrant, and satisfying.
Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts: 1.5 pounds
- Balsamic vinegar: 0.5 cup
- Olive oil: 0.25 cup
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic cloves, minced: 3 cloves
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 0.5 teaspoon
- Fresh strawberries, sliced: 1.5 cups
- Feta cheese, crumbled: 0.75 cup
- Fresh basil leaves, torn: 0.25 cup
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly charred.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Top the warm chicken with sliced strawberries and crumbled feta.
- Finish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
- Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
- Use ripe but firm strawberries for the best texture.
- Add the feta while the chicken is warm so it softens slightly.
- Taste before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
