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:
- Select the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife: This will help you make clean cuts and prevent the chicken from tearing.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of fry and will not get as crispy.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help sear the chicken and prevent it from drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the balsamic vinegar sauce: This will help keep the chicken moist and add flavor.
- Serve the chicken immediately: This is when it will be at its best.

Almond-dusted strawberry balsamic chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the almond-strawberry balsamic sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
