Main Dish

Steps

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
While the chicken cooks, slice the strawberries and prepare the salad greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey to make a glaze.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
In a large bowl, combine salad greens, sliced strawberries, and feta cheese.
Top the salad with sliced chicken and drizzle the balsamic glaze over everything.
Toss lightly and serve immediately.

Tips for Strawberry Chicken Salad with Balsamic Glaze

The greens should look perky and the strawberries distinct, not crushed; toss gently so the feta stays in small crumbles.
A dry pan and an even chicken breast thickness help it brown evenly; avoid crowding the pan.
Keep the glaze lightly drizzled rather than pooling, which can weigh down the greens.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp fruit character complements the strawberries and balsamic, while its freshness suits the greens and chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and keep for 3–4 days. Store the chicken, greens, strawberries, and glaze separately when possible; serve the salad cold rather than reheating.
