Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Balsamic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, thyme, and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the balsamic-strawberry sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to meld.

          Serve: Plate the chicken drizzled with the balsamic strawberry sauce. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

            Enjoy Your Meal: Serve hot with a side of quinoa, rice, or a fresh green salad!
