    Ingredients

    • Salt as needed
    • 4 x boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 1/4 lbs total
    • 1 1/4 c. strawberries in small dice
    • 1 x hard ripe avocado pitted, and cut into small dice
    • 1/2 c. finely-minced red onion
    • 2 Tbsp. finely-minced fresh mint leaves
    • 2 Tbsp. finely-minced fresh basil leaves
    • 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar
    • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil divided Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
    • 1/2 lb fusilli

    Directions

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, lb. the chicken breasts, 2 at a time, to flatten. Place the chicken, smooth-side up, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently and proportionately lb. the chicken to about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside in the refrigerator.
    2. Combine the strawberries, avocado, red onion, mint and basil leaves in a small mixing bowl. Add in the balsamic vinegar and 2 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature.
    3. Heat a grill pan or possibly a grill over high heat. Place the remaining Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil on a plate. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, dredge each chicken breast in the oil, coating both sides, and season with salt and pepper.
    4. Once the grill is warm, grill the chicken till cooked through and the juices run clear, about 3 min a side.
    5. While the chicken is grilling, add in the fusilli to the water and cook till just tender, about 10 min. Drain and toss the pasta with half of the relish, keeping it hot till you are ready to serve.
    6. Divide the pasta among 4 plates, placing a grilled chicken breast on top. Spoon equal amounts of the remaining relish over each breast.
    7. This recipe yields 4 servings.
