Description
This Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Glaze is a sweet and savory summer sensation! Juicy grilled chicken is brushed with a luscious homemade strawberry glaze infused with balsamic vinegar, honey, and a hint of garlic — creating a perfect balance of tangy and smoky flavors that scream summer.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Strawberry Glaze:
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp water (optional, for thickening)
Fresh basil or mint for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
5. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until strawberries break down.
6. Add lemon juice and cornstarch slurry (if using) and cook for another minute until slightly thickened.
7. Remove from heat and blend or mash until smooth.
8. Brush half of the glaze over the grilled chicken during the last minute of cooking.
9. Serve the chicken drizzled with remaining glaze and topped with fresh basil or mint.
Notes
Use a grill pan or cast-iron skillet if grilling outdoors isn’t an option.
The glaze also pairs beautifully with salmon or pork tenderloin.
Serve with a side of couscous, grilled veggies, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
