salt and pepper to taste
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Tips:

  • Prepare the chicken marinade in advance: This allows the chicken to absorb more flavor. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours, but even 30 minutes will make a difference.
  • Use a variety of grilling techniques: Grilling the chicken over direct heat will give it a nice char, while grilling it over indirect heat will cook it more evenly. You can also use a combination of both methods.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.
  • Make the strawberry salad ahead of time: This salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance, making it a great option for a party or potluck.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries: This will give the salad the best flavor.
  • Add a variety of toppings to the salad: This can include nuts, seeds, cheese, or croutons. You can also drizzle the salad with a balsamic vinaigrette or honey mustard dressing.

Conclusion:

This BBQ chicken and fresh strawberry salad is a delicious and refreshing summer meal. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the salad is light and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
