Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden.
Cooking
- Pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken and bake for about 12–15 minutes, basting once, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Arrange the halved strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and honey, and season with cracked black pepper and sea salt.
- Roast the strawberries for 12–15 minutes until they’re juicy and slightly caramelized.
- Cook the orzo according to package directions, then drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Assembly
- In a blender, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, basil, and water until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the whipped feta onto a large serving platter.
- Layer the seasoned orzo on top of the whipped feta, then arrange the balsamic glazed chicken over the pasta.
- Scatter the roasted strawberries around the platter and drizzle with any remaining balsamic glaze.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, extra feta, lemon zest, and toasted pine nuts before serving warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best flavor and texture, reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
