Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar good quality
- 1 tablespoon water extra if mixture is too thick

- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries (sliced, optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt on both sides and place in pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side or until a nice golden crust forms.
- Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar and water in a small bowl.
- When chicken is just about finished cooking, pour mixture over the top, nestling the chicken breasts into the sauce and scraping up brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat and bring sauce to a simmer, letting it bubble for 2-3 more minutes or until it has reduced and thickened a bit.
- Stir in most of the basil, and simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove chicken breasts from pan. Pour sauce over the top of each piece.
- Sprinkle with a little goat cheese if desired and garnish with remaining basil and sliced strawberries.
