Description

A delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors featuring juicy chicken breasts, succulent strawberries, and creamy mozzarella drizzled with a rich balsamic reduction.


Ingredients

  • 🍗 Chicken breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
  • 🍓 Fresh strawberries: 1 cup, hulled and sliced
  • 🛢️ Balsamic vinegar: 1/2 cup
  • 🧀 Mozzarella cheese: 1 cup, shredded or sliced

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then add balsamic vinegar and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add sliced strawberries, and top with mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
