Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts about 1 pound total
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, balsamic vinegar, and honey to create a marinade.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Scatter the sliced strawberries and chopped basil over the marinated chicken.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
