Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural honey (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves, a handful

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Set aside for use in the sauce.
  2. Season and Cook Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.
  3. Make the Strawberry Sauce: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in the sliced strawberries, apple cider vinegar, natural honey, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and cook gently, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and the strawberries soften but keep some shape.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the strawberry sauce over the top, and cook together for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in fresh basil leaves just before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness.
  • Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to maintain fresh strawberry flavor and texture.
  • Adjust honey quantity to increase sweetness if desired.
  • Add fresh basil at the end for bright herbal notes.
