Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 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
- 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 the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar, and water in a small bowl.
- When the chicken is just about finished cooking, pour the mixture over the top and let it simmer for 2-3 more minutes until thickened.
- Stir in most of the basil and simmer for 1 minute, reserving some for garnish.
- Remove chicken from the pan, pour sauce over it, and sprinkle with goat cheese and remaining basil and strawberries if desired.
Notes
