📖 Instructions

1. First, marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. This is where the magic begins! Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes.
2. Next, prepare the strawberry salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced strawberries, red onion, jalapeño (remove the seeds if you prefer less heat!), cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together. Try to resist eating it all right now, though it's seriously tempting.
3. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's fully cooked.
5. Rest the chicken: Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. No one wants dry chicken!
6. Assemble and serve: Slice the grilled chicken and top it generously with the fresh strawberry salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge for an extra touch of freshness. For a fun presentation, consider using a bed of greens for each serving.
7. Pair with a side (optional): This grilled chicken with strawberry salsa pairs perfectly with a variety of sides, such as quinoa, rice, or a simple green salad. For a heartier meal, try serving it with grilled vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
8. Clean up: Once you've enjoyed your amazing meal, make sure you don't leave all of the dishes for someone else to deal with! Clean up while everything is still fresh and easy to clean. Nobody enjoys scrubbing hardened remnants of salsa off of a plate.
