How to Make Almond Dusted Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Breasts
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place sliced almonds on a plate.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in olive oil, then dredge in almonds, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until strawberries are softened and sauce has slightly thickened.
- Stir in Dijon mustard and basil (if using).
- Once chicken is cooked, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve chicken breasts topped with the strawberry balsamic sauce.
