Description

Strawberry Chicken combines fresh, juicy strawberries with tender, savory chicken breasts in a vibrant, sweet and savory dish that is simple to prepare and perfect for any weeknight meal or entertaining guests. This recipe features fresh ingredients, a naturally flavored strawberry sauce, and a plant-based natural gelling agent to create a delicious glaze that enhances the flavors and texture beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 fresh and lean chicken breasts
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 cup ripe and sweet strawberries, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Garnish

  • A few whole fresh strawberries
  • Sprinkle of fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice them thinly. Set aside a few whole strawberries for garnish later.
  2. Season and Sear the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown but not fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Create the Strawberry Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in sliced strawberries, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, fresh thyme, and natural gelling agent. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, breaking down strawberries slightly to release their juices and thicken the sauce.
  4. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the strawberry sauce over the top, and cover. Cook on low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Plate and Garnish: Serve the chicken with a generous spoonful of the strawberry sauce and garnish with fresh whole strawberries and a sprinkle of chopped thyme.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear chicken pieces in batches if necessary to maintain a nice crust.
  • Adjust sauce consistency by adding more natural gelling agent gradually to reach your preferred thickness.
  • Let the cooked chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing for juicier results.
  • Taste the sauce as you cook to balance sweet and savory flavors carefully.
