Strawberry Basil Grilled Chicken

Strawberry Basil Grilled Chicken

(servings for two)

Strawberry Topping:

2 hand fulls of strawberries, about 10-12 strawberries, chopped

two slices of white onion chopped

3 tbsp of Balsamic vinagar

1 tbsp of strawberry jaw or jelly

about 10-15 leaves of basil chopped

2 chicken breast

Salt

Pepper

Sautee onion for about two minutes until transparent. Add strawberries, balsamic, and jam to the onion and bring to a simmer for about two minutes. Pay attention and stir while simmering, you don’t want it to burn, it will bubble up a little bit. I usually simmer on medium heat. Then simmer for another 2-4 minutes until reduction thickens. Take off heat then add basil.

Grilled Chicken- Salt, pepper and grill chicken. If you have thick chicken breast butterfly in half for thorough cooking. About 6 minutes each side, If your grill heats up fast you may want to grilled 5 min each side. I usually grill at meadium to high heat, about 400 degrees, I grill one side 6minutes, then the other for about 4-5 minutes. Every grill is different so pay attention. My Weber Grill heats up fast I had to get used to it. Chicken should reach internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Spoon Strawberry Basil reduction over the grilled chicken, and it is ready to go.
