How to Make Almond Dusted Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Breasts

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place sliced almonds on a plate.
3. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
4. Dip each chicken breast in olive oil, then dredge in almonds, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
8. 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.
9. Stir in Dijon mustard and basil (if using).
10. Once chicken is cooked, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
11. Serve chicken breasts topped with the strawberry balsamic sauce.
