Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the halved strawberries with 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey. Toss to coat. Spread the strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.

      Prepare the Chicken: While the strawberries are roasting, season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, add the mixed greens, sliced red onion, toasted walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

          Add the Chicken and Strawberries: Top the salad with the sliced chicken and roasted strawberries. Drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar if desired.

            Serve: Divide the salad among plates and enjoy your delicious Balsamic Roasted Strawberry Chicken Salad!
