Pan-Seared Balsamic Strawberry Chicken
The fresh berries make this strawberry balsamic chicken breast perfect for any summer evening. The sweet balsamic tang adds the perfect flavor that brings all three ingredients together. Whether you're cooking up a simple supper or entertaining guests, this recipe will be a hit!
Ingredients
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (or 2 small)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup strawberries, diced (I use organic)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp raw honey (unfiltered is best)
- 2 fresh garlic clove, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
Instructions
- Heat avocado oil in a medium to large sized skillet over medium heat.
- While oil is warming, cut chicken breast into small bite sized pieces (about 1/2 inch each).
- Add diced chicken into a bowl with salt and pepper. Stir to evenly coat.
- When oil is hot, add chicken to pan. Let chicken pieces cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Don’t move them while cooking. Once golden brown, flip each piece. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from pan.
- While chicken is cooking, dice strawberries if you haven't yet and set aside. Also make the sauce by adding balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine and set aside until chicken is cooked.
- Once chicken is fully cooked, turn heat to low-medium and add sliced strawberries and balsamic sauce. Stir to evenly coat everything.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and enjoy!
Notes
I like to serve this dish with brown rice or pasta.
