Strawberry Balsamic Chicken

Here is my first entree recipe to be posted since our allergen free diet began.  It's certainly a keeper.



Strawberry Balsamic Dressing
1 c. strawberries (fresh or frozen), chopped.  (If frozen thaw slightly before processing)
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
Optional: sweetener such as agave nectar or honey

Combine all ingredients together in a food processor.  I thought it was sweet enough with just the berries but you can add sweetener if desired.

Additional Ingredients:
3 lbs. chicken breasts (about 4)
Avocado
Optional: fresh parsley to garnish

Prepare the chicken as desired.  We made ours on the stove in a cast iron skillet, but you could grill or bake it too.

Slice or dice the avocado.

To serve, place chicken breast on a plate, top with avocado and a generous pour of dressing.  Garnish if desired. You could also serve it on a bed of fresh greens for a tasty salad.
