Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Basil Salsa

This recipe makes for a delicious and nutritious weeknight dinner. What I love so much about this recipe is that it takes 30 minutes or less to prepare and cook – start to finish. If you have leftovers, I recommend creating a salad for lunch the next day. To do this: Create a bed of greens (whatever your preference). Top with diced chicken and strawberry basil salsa. Add some sliced almonds. Dress with extra-virgin olive oil, additional aged balsamic, salt, and pepper. Voila! Easy meal prep.
