What you will need:
- Two chicken breasts; sliced into strips
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. pepper
- Two cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp. cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup almond slivers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 2 Tbsp. finely diced red onion
- 2 Tbsp. soft goat cheese
- 4 cups spinach; washed and dried
- balsamic dressing
Directions:
Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, pepper, garlic, and oil, and toss in the chicken.
You can marinate for 24 hours, but I did a quick 1-hour, and they tasted great!
- Tip: There are many different types of Balsamic vinegar. Each will have a slightly different flavor profile.
While the chicken is marinating, add the almond slivers to a frying pan and lightly toast over medium/high heat.
When you can smell them, turn the heat down and add the sugar.
Allow the sugar to melt and coat the almonds; remove from the pan and place on parchment paper to cool.
Cook the chicken on medium heat on the BBQ until cooked through. Let rest, and then dice up.
Add your spinach to a bowl and top with some strawberries, red onion, and goat cheese.
Add the chicken and candied almonds and top off with a drizzle of two balsamic salad dressing.
