Perhaps you have noticed that we like to experiment. Well, last night’s dinner was just that – an experiment – I wanted to make something different, even a little bit exotic. That is why I chose this recipe for honey glazed chicken with strawberry salsa with Pineapple Coconut Rice as a side (we need some carbs for all that protein). It is a very nice combination for a not-so-traditional dinner.

Ingredients for 4 portions Honey Glazed Chicken:

• 4 large breast fillets
• 80 g honey
• 50 ml soy sauce
• 50 ml freshly squeezed lime juice (can substitute with lemon)
• 50 ml white wine
• 50 g brown sugar
• 10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp. olive oil for frying

Strawberry-Mango Salsa Ingredients:

• 1 mango
• 100 g strawberries
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• ¼ tsp. sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Honey-Glazed Chicken Preparation:

1. In a big bowl, mix all ingredients together except for the chicken and olive oil, and stir well. Place the chicken breast fillets so that they are covered in marinate from all sides.2. Chill for a few hours. Drain the chicken before you fry it.

3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the breast fillets on both sides but turn them only once. Chicken meat doesn’t need a lot of time and it can dry very quickly.

Strawberry Salsa Preparation:

1. Peel and cut the mango into little cubes.2. Finely cut the strawberries.

3. Mix the fruit in a medium bowl, pour over the lemon juice, add the chopped basil leaves and season to taste.4. Mix well and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours. Serve together with the honey glazed chicken fillets. The recipe is inspired from McConkie Menu.
