Balsamic Strawberry Chicken


I had some extra strawberries and wanted to make some type of strawberry chicken dish.  After a quick google search, this was the recipe I settled on.  It was one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life!  Seriously!

I got it from the Taste of Home website, and the recipe was called Barbecued Strawberry Chicken, you can find the recipe here.

Ingredients
2 T. Canola oil
4 Boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 T. butter
1/4 C. finely chopped red onion (about 1/4 of a medium onion)
1 C. BBQ sauce  (I used Heinz Kansas City...but I'm sure any will work)
2 T. Brown Sugar
2 T. Balsamic Vinegar
2 T. honey
1 C. sliced fresh strawberries

Directions
1.  Preheat oven to 350 F.
2.  In a large oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
3.  Brown chicken in oil.
4.  Remove chicken from pan
5.  Add butter and onions to pan.  Cook and stir until tender about 1 minute.  (I do a little longer)
6.  Add remaining ingredients (excluding the chicken and strawberries) to the onions.
7.  Stir sauce and bring to a boil.
8.  Reduce heat.  Simmer uncovered until thickened, about 4-6 minutes.
9.  Return chicken to pan.  Spoon sauce over chicken.
10.  Bake until thermometer reads 165 F.  About 12-15 minutes.  (Mine took 15 min).
11.  Remove from oven.  Stir in strawberries. 
12.  Serve immediately.  Spoon sauce over chicken.
