A delicious and tangy main dish featuring succulent chicken glazed with a sweet and tangy strawberry sauce.

Main Dish

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breast in a baking dish and pour the strawberry glaze over it.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.

Tips for Strawberry Glazed Chicken

  • The glaze should look glossy and cling to a spoon; if it stays watery, it may slide off the chicken.
  • A thick breast can take longer than a thin one, so allow extra time and check that the center is no longer pink.
  • Use a small baking dish that keeps the glaze gathered around the chicken rather than spread in a thin layer.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp acidity complements the strawberry-balsamic tang without overwhelming the chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?

The center should be opaque with no pink, and the juices should run clear. A thicker breast may need more time than the recipe's estimate.

Can I make the strawberry glaze ahead?

Yes. Make it up to a day ahead, cover and refrigerate it, then warm it gently before using so it spreads easily.

What sides go well with strawberry glazed chicken?

Serve it with rice, roasted potatoes, or a simple green vegetable; mild sides balance the sweet-tangy glaze.
