What's for Dinner: California Chicken with Strawberry Salad

What's for Dinner: California Chicken with Strawberry Salad

A continuing promotion utilizing key ingredients sold at the retail gourmet store, Olive With A Twist, Frenchtown, NY in unique recipes designed to promote the store and its products. What's for Dinner is both the question and the answer of what to make. Recipes and images appeared in print, on social media sites, and the company’s website.

Looking for a light summer dinner? California Chicken with a Strawberry Salad is a quick and easy dish to prepare. The dish takes full advantage of the summer’s strawberry bounty, which is only enhanced with All-Natural Strawberry Infused Balsamic Vinegar — available at Olive With A Twist.

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons Taste of California dried herb mix (dried strawberries, lemon zest, cilantro, and thyme)

2, 5-ounce boxes of fresh arugula

6 ounces Humboldt Fog cheese

1, 6-ounce container of fresh strawberries, washed

½ cup Arbequina Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil

¼ cup All-Natural Strawberry Infused Balsamic Vinegar

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Salad

Wash and dry the arugula and strawberries. Hull and cut each strawberry in half, and set aside. Combine vinegar, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl and whisk to make a simple vinaigrette dressing. Reserve.

Chicken

Heat some olive oil in a cast iron grill pan on high heat. You can also use a large heavy-bottom Dutch oven or outdoor grill. Coat each breast in a little olive oil and generously dust each side with the dried herb mixture. When the pan is hot, gently add each chicken breast and grill for 5-7 minutes. Flip and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the chicken for an additional 5-7 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reached 165 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate and cover. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

To Assemble

Mix the strawberries with the salad and dress with the vinaigrette. Divide the salad equally between each plate and add some freshly ground black pepper. Slice each breast into 1-inch wide pieces and top each salad with one breast each. Make sure to evenly distribute any remaining strawberries and cheese between the plates.
