I am posting this here for safe keeping. I made it the same night that i found it and even my picky 5 year old tried it because of the strawberries (she didn't eat it but hey she tried it). Ingredients:
3 cups fresh strawberries (half or quartered if large berries) |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1/4 cup strawberry jam |
sea salt or salt and pepper |
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 3 lbs) |
3 ounces parmesan cheese |
6 large fresh basil leaves |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F in a 3-quart baking dish combine strawberries, vinegar, and jam. sprinkle salt and pepper; set aside.
2. cut a horizontal pocket in each chiken breast. Cut Parmesan cheese into six 3x1/2inch pieces. wrap a basil leaf around each piece of cheese, and stuff into chicken. secure with toothpicks.
3. In 12 inch oven safe skillet cook garlic in oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. add chicken and cook 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. transfer to oven. bake uncovered for 5 minutes add baking dish with the strawberries and jam mixture to oven. bake 10-13 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and the strawberry mixture has thickened. serve chicken with melted strawberries.
