White Balsamic Chicken with Fruit Salsa

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! March is apparently Caffeine Awareness Month, so this week’s theme = Energizing!

Fruit tends to be a great pick-me-up for me at almost any time of day, so what better recipe to make than this white balsamic chicken with fruit salsa!? (Your choice of strawberry-kiwi or mango-avocado! <3)

White Balsamic Chicken with Fruit Salsa

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Keyword: healthy

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs
• ~1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
• ~1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
• sprigs of mint diced
• 1-2 tbsp mirin
• 1-2 tbsp sake
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

• Whisk the oil, soy sauce, mirin, sake, spices + herbs together until well combined.
• Place chicken thighs into a shallow dish (or a gallon-size ziploc bag) and pour in marinade. Let it marinate for at least an hour.
• Turn heat medium-high and add chicken thighs. Let cook until the middle is no longer pink. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Notes

Fruit Salsa:

• Strawberry Kiwi Salsa: strawberries, mint, kiwi, white balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, pepper
• Mango Avocado Salsa: mango, avocados, cilantro, pepper, red onion (recommended), lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper

I don’t really have a full-on recipe for you as far as the salsa goes, because it was very much a “let’s dice up fruit and throw in a splash of white balsamic vinegar and EVOO” sort of recipe. The ingredients listed are to taste, so feel free to experiment with it!

If you’re short on time, you can technically just use canned shredded chicken and throw in the salsa(s) to make a super tasty salad!
