Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar good quality
- 1 tablespoon water extra if mixture is too thick
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves cut into ribbons or finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese optional
- ¼ cup fresh strawberries sliced, optional
Instructions
Cooking Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt on both sides and place in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side or until a nice golden crust forms.
- Flip chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked through.
Making the Sauce
- Meanwhile, whisk together strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar, and water in a small bowl.
- When chicken is almost finished cooking, pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat and bring sauce to a simmer, let it bubble for 2-3 minutes or until it has reduced and thickened.
- Stir in most of the basil and simmer for 1 minute.
Serving
- Remove chicken breasts from the pan and pour the sauce over them.
- Sprinkle with goat cheese if desired, and garnish with remaining basil and sliced strawberries.
