👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels.
2. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Place chicken in the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C / 165°F).
5. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
6. Slice or keep whole depending on presentation.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, honey (or sugar), balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and water.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices (about 5–7 minutes).
3. Lightly mash or blend the mixture for a smoother texture if desired.
4. Continue simmering until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Fresh Layer

1. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, sliced strawberries, chopped herbs, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
2. Gently mix to maintain texture and avoid mashing the avocado.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

1. Place a ring mold on a serving plate (optional for presentation).
2. Add a compact layer of rice at the bottom and press lightly.
3. Spoon the avocado-strawberry mixture over the rice.
4. Place the cooked chicken on top.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

1. Drizzle the warm strawberry sauce generously over the chicken.
2. Garnish with additional strawberries and fresh herbs.
3. Carefully remove the mold (if used) and serve immediately.

✨ Pro Tips

• Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor balance.
• Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
