Ingredients

  • 3 C fresh strawberries cut into pieces
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 3 T strawberry spread- no sugar
  • Black Pepper
  • 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 12 thin slices of goat cheese about ½ oz each
  • 24 basil leaves – slivered
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • ¼ C fresh basil – slivered for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large Pyrex bowl, mix the strawberries, vinegar & strawberry spread together. Put aside.
  2. Make a horizontal cut almost through each chicken breast. Open the top half and sprinkle a large pinch of basil on one side. Take two slices of goat cheese and place them on the basil leaves. Sprinkle a touch more basil on top. Replace the top half. Sprinkle with pepper.
  3. In a 4 quart metal or oven-safe skillet, spray with olive oil. Over med-high heat, cook garlic for about 30 seconds. Add chicken breasts and brown for about 4 minutes on each side. Then, place both the skillet and Pyrex bowl of strawberries into the oven. Cook for 10 minutes. Take chicken out and let it rest on the stove. Cook berries another 5 minutes. Take out of oven and stir. Serve chicken with sauce. Sprinkle with basil leaves.
