For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of lime zest to the strawberry salsa. If you don't have raspberry vinegar, balsamic vinegar makes a good substitute. Adjust the amount of serrano chile to suit your spice preference. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder heat. Make sure the grill is properly heated before cooking the chicken. Letting the strawberry salsa stand at room temperature before serving really wakes up the flavours.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Gently pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepMake the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced serrano chile, garlic, chili powder, and raspberry vinegar. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the marinade is emulsified. (2 minutes)
03
StepMarinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 hours for maximum flavor. (2-3 hours)
04
StepPrepare the Strawberry Salsa: In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with the chopped fresh mint and sugar. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (1 hour)
05
StepFinish the Salsa: After chilling, fold in the minced red onion and the remaining raspberry vinegar. Season the salsa to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the salsa to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to enhance its flavors. (20 minutes)
06
StepGrill the Chicken: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
07
StepCook the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
08
StepServe: Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to a serving platter. Top generously with the fresh strawberry salsa and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
