Marinated in balsamic vinegar, 20 minutes is all you need to infuse the chicken tenders with the right amount of lightly sweet tartness that compliments the ripe berries, basil, and goat cheese (or substitute feta or blue cheese).

Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs. chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar + 2 Tbsp., I use DeLallo Brand
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 cusp fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the chicken and vinegar in a Ziploc bag; turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from vinegar marinade, place on a sprayed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10 minutes; turn the pieces over and bake another 10 minutes, or until done.
  • Mix together the strawberries and basil. Gently mix in the goat cheese. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar. Serve bruschetta on top of the chicken tenders.
