Salt and pepper, to taste

-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
-
Optional garnish: extra basil, sliced strawberries

Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine Strawberry Balsamic, honey, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in Basil Olive Oil and chopped basil.
-
Prep the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly brush with Basil Olive Oil.
-
Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Glaze & serve: In the final minute of grilling, brush chicken generously with the glaze. Serve drizzled with extra glaze and garnished with additional basil and sliced strawberries if desired.
💡 Tips:

Pound the chicken breasts slightly for even cooking.
