Spice up your basic grilled chicken with a strawberry caprese salad on top. Top with a drizzle of balsamic reduction to make this Strawberry Balsamic Grilled Chicken complete!

It’s January and like most people you are trying to eat better. Today, I’ve partnered with Florida Strawberries  to share a healthier dinner option for you. I introduce to you my Strawberry Balsamic Grilled Chicken. I wasn’t sure if my husband was going to go for fruit with his chicken but after his first bite he was gobbling it up. He loved it and actually went for seconds and even thirds of the strawberry mozzarella topping. Who knew pairing chicken with strawberries would taste so good?

Now, I know what most of you in the United States (and even around the world) might be thinking… it’s January and it’s freezing out! Who in the heck is grilling and where are you finding strawberries? Did you know that Florida Strawberries are in stores ALL winter long from November through April each year! That’s right… when you go to the grocery store your going to see beautiful plump red strawberries grown right here in Florida. I’m a Floridian and I’m one of the lucky ones who can grill ALL YEAR ROUND. Trust me… right about now at 35 weeks pregnant I wish I was enjoying some cold weather. Instead I’m sweating and sweating while grilling.

So if your not lucky like me to live in warmer weather to be able to grill–you can always grill your chicken on an indoor grill or even a grill pan on your stove top! No sweat–either way works. The most important thing is to grab the strawberries and make the strawberry mozzarella topping. That’s what is the true start of this meal.

Select fresh Florida strawberries not only for their delicious taste but for the nutritional benefits they offer you and your family. Think about it, just eight medium strawberries contain more vitamin C than one orange. So just think, your getting a nice little immunity booster while you eat dinner!

Strawberries are virtually fat free, contain no cholesterol and are an excellent source of folic acid that helps the body metabolize protein. They are a good source of potassium too. I found that drizzling on a little balsamic reduction sauce on top of the strawberry mozzarella topping added the perfect extra zing to the dish! Balsamic vinegar compliments strawberries very well! Did you know that research by the USDA indicates that strawberries may help fight cancer, heart disease and other ills? They are low in calories (about 45 per serving) and high in ellagic acid, which is believed to help reduce the risk of cancer. A serving size of strawberries is one cup.

So if your trying to eat a little healthier this new year and want to switch up your dinner time routine… run (don’t walk) and grab some strawberries fresh from Florida and make my Strawberry Balsamic Grilled Chicken. And remember if you don’t see Florida Strawberries in your store you can ask your produce or store manager to carry Florida Strawberries!

Oh and make sure to enter the #FLStrawberryCap Contest – Just post a picture via social media with the #FLStrawberryCap hashtag to get a free Florida Strawberry Cap! You’ll be entered to win a trip to the TradeWinds Island Resort in St. Pete Beach (it’s where I’m staying right now–and it’s absolutely beautiful)! ((Here are the Official Rules)). Good luck!

    What do you do for the Balsamic Reduction? I looked online for recipes but some had honey added and I’m not sure if that is what you intended. I was planning on making this tonight!! It looks great!
    Thank you!

      Hi Marilyn, I use a store-bought balsamic reduction sauce; however, you can make it by bringing equal parts balsamic vinegar and white granulated sugar to a boil then simmering for 15-20 minutes until it reduces and becomes thick.
