Strawberry Bruschetta Chicken is a symphony of strawberries, feta cheese, basil and balsamic vinegar served over chicken that cooks in minutes on the stove-top…for a quick, healthy and very beautiful dinner!
2016 is off to a strawberry-licious start!
I’m thrilled to be partnering with my Sunday Supper friends and Florida Strawberry to share an amazing collection of recipes featuring none other than my very favorite fruit…strawberries! Don’t get me wrong, I love all types of fruit. But, this Florida gal has a special love for my rosy friends. And, when the season comes around, December through April of each year, they are consumed almost daily at our house.
We add them to salads, oatmeal, pudding and smoothies. For a bit of an indulgence, we melt a couple of squares of dark chocolate and dip them for a mini fondue-like experience. When it’s time to show-off, we make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.
These choices are all consumed guilt-free….because strawberries are HEALTHY! Did you know 8 medium strawberries equal your daily requirement of vitamin C? Check out 10 Good Reasons to Eat Strawberries!
Strawberry Bruschetta Chicken
However, I can honestly say that I never thought to incorporate strawberries into a dinner entree. Until now. It’s an easy and healthy way to add a burst of sweetness to your meal.
The star of the show is, of course, strawberry bruschetta. It’s as simple as dicing some strawberries and mixing them with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil. Yum!
The topping could be served on grilled bread or with crackers. Heck, I was eating it by the spoonful! But, sticking to business, I topped thin cutlets of chicken.
It’s my favorite way to quickly cook chicken!
I plated everything on top of a bed of baby spinach leaves. The result? A complete and very strawberry-licious meal!
