Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Chicken Breast
  • pinch of Salt and Pepper

For the Balsamic Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Chicken Broth

For the Strawberry Salsa:

  • 1 cup Strawberries Finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Minced
  • 3 tablespoons Red Onion Minced
  • pinch of Salt and Pepper

To Assemble the Tacos:

  • 2 Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Pistachios Chopped
  • 1/4 cup Goat Cheese Crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a small baking dish with cooking spray. Place the chicken into the dish and season with salt and pepper. Set side.
  • In a large sauce pan, bring the Balsamic Vinegar, honey, oil and chicken broth to a boil on high heat. Boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and reduced by half. Pour over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Once cooked, turn your broiler on to HIGH and adjust your oven rack to the 2nd tier from the top. Broil the chicken until the sauce begins to caramelize, about 3-4 mins. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool until you can handle it to shred.
  • While the chicken cools, combined the strawberries, basil and red onion a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Once the chicken is cool, place it onto a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Then, transfer it back into a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the balsamic sauce that it cooked in.
  • Divide the chicken and strawberry salsa between the two tortillas and then top with pistachios, goat cheese and the remaining balsamic sauce.
  • DEVOUR.
