Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Strawberry jam (preferably low-sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the strawberry jam, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the strawberry jam mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken bakes, prepare the garlic garnish by sautéing the minced garlic in a small skillet over low heat with a drizzle of olive oil until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with the sautéed garlic and fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish alongside roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
