Grilling Tips for the Best Balsamic Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Some of the best meals I have ever eaten have come from the grill. This Grilled Balsamic Chicken Breast with Strawberry Salsa is one of them. But there a few tips and tricks for having a great meal on the grill.

  • First, start by preheating your grill. The meat should only be put on at the perfect temperature. Invest in a good a good thermostat.
  • Next, take the meat out of the fridge and wait for it to get to room temperature before placing it on the grill.
  • Also, try not to move your food around too much on the grill, to avoid sticking and inconsistent cooking.
  •  Try these other grilling tips to cook like an expert.

How long will the Strawberry Salsa last?

One of the best experiences that I can recommend is strawberry picking on a farm. Fresh berries warmed in the sun fragrance the air with a scent that is just so memorable and amazing. Plus, the taste of fresh picked strawberries are delectable. It is a great family activity.

Once, you get those strawberries home, you can make the strawberry salsa and it will stay good in your refrigerator for up to 7 days. But you can freeze it in an air tight container for use anytime. Believe me you will use it often!

    Does anyone have a suggestion for what temperature and how long to cook the chicken if done in the oven instead of the grill?
    Thank you!

      I go with 165 degrees for doneness. The amount of time will depend on the thickness and type of chicken.
