Strawberry marinated succulent chicken


Last day I went to the shop and got loads of strawberries. Because of the season you can get cheap and quality ones. I love strawberries! But just to eat them on its own it's a bit boring. Ok, there are thousands of recipes out of strawberries, but I wanted something extraordinary.
The solution came across the chicken breast fillet in my fridge. Why not to try and mix those flavours together?
And you know what?.... you will be surprised how tasty, extraordinary and refreshing it is! Ok. Lets go to the point.

What you need for 2 portions:

Chicken breast fillet 1
Strawberry yoghurt 150g
Strawberries 2 (for decoration)
Red whine vinegar 50ml

for salad:

spinach
avocado
strawberries
mint
olive oil

for sauce:

grenadine cordial
lemon

Marinate chicken breast filet in the mix of strawberry yoghurt, red wine vinegar for about 2 hours (longer you leave more succulent it will be). Season with salt and pepper.
While its marinating you can prepare the salad. Slice strawberries and avocado. Mix with the spinach leaves and chopped mint. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 200ยบ and bake marinated chicken for 35 minutes.
Slice it and serve on plate along with your salad. Decorate your chicken with the sliced strawberries (you can sprinkle also some chopped mint over).
Apply the sauce of grenadine cordial mixed with the fresh squeezed lemon juice.
