Strawberry Balsamic Glazed Chicken

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 4  thin sliced (boneless, skinless) chicken breast
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp chopped shallot
• 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

For the Glaze

• 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 tbsp minced shallots
• 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
• 2 cups strawberries, tops cut off and berry sliced
• 1 tsp corn starch

Instructions

For the Chicken

1. Preheat oven at 375 degrees. In a small bowl whisk together the shallots, garlic, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to make marinade. 

2. Place chicken in a Pyrex baking dish. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then pour the marinade over the meat. Turn chicken to coat. If you have time, marinate for up to 2 hours. 

3. Place chicken in preheated oven for 25 minutes. (Adjust cooking time for bone-in, skin on cuts)

For the Glaze

1. In a medium sized sauce pan combine balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, garlic and shallots. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let mixture simmer for about 10 minutes uncovered.

2. If after 10 minutes you find the glaze is still too thin  (look for a syrup-like consistency) mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with about a tablespoon of water and whisk in a small bowl. Add to saucepan. Whisk to combine and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. You will notice the mixture get thicker. 

3. Add the strawberries. Continue to simmer for 3 minutes. Strawberries will begin to break down a bit. Turn off heat. 

4. Transfer baked chicken to a platter or plate. Spoon strawberry glaze over chicken. Serve with greens such as spinach or kale.
