Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, sugar, pepper, cinnamon and salt. Place chicken breast halves in a shallow baking dish, and pour the sauce over them. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning chicken over half way through.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape the marinade off of the chicken breasts, and place them into the hot oil. Quickly brown the chicken on both sides, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let rest for 3 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, transfer the marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Remove stems from strawberries, and slice thinly so they will fan nicely. Set aside.
- Slice chicken breasts on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on serving plates, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the marinade over each chicken breast, and fan one sliced strawberry over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh mint and parsley. If you really love balsamic vinegar, finish the dish off with an artful drizzle.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If strawberries are not in season, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- To make the sauce, you can use a food processor or a blender. If you use a food processor, pulse the ingredients until they are well combined but still have some texture. If you use a blender, blend the ingredients until they are smooth.
- The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to use it, reheat it over low heat until it is warmed through.
- The chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways. You can pan-fry it, bake it, or grill it. If you are pan-frying the chicken, be sure to use a nonstick skillet and cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through.
- The almonds can be toasted in a toaster oven or in a skillet over medium heat. Be sure to watch the almonds closely so that they do not burn.
Conclusion:
This almond chicken with strawberry balsamic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. The almonds add a nice crunch to the dish. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
