Description

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free

A summery blend of sweet and savory creates the perfect dinner to fill you up without weighing you down


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1 heaping cup chopped strawberries (about 6 large berries)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp water
  • 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • dash of cinnamon
  • salt and pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Chop strawberries and place in a seal-able bag or jar.
  3. Combine the honey, water, balsamic vinegar, dash of cinnamon, and a little black pepper in a small bowl, and whisk to combine.  Set aside.
  4. Lay asparagus and chicken out flat on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.  Season asparagus with salt and pepper, chicken with black pepper and a little cinnamon.  Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping chicken and rotating asparagus after the first ten.
  5. While chicken is cooking, prepare sauce by combining strawberries and honey mixture in a small sauce pan over medium heat.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and reduce over heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  
  6. To plate, place asparagus on the plate, top with chicken, and then top with sauce.

Notes

I served with asparagus but you could swap that for any favorite side dish – like my roasted veggiessweet or savory sweet potatoes or kale chips!
