Lemon Basil Chicken with Balsamic Strawberries

You can make this Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken with or without the Balsamic Strawberries but I highly recommend you don’t skip them because this combination is incredibly delicious. The chicken is so flavorful from the marinade and the strawberries add a burst of tangy sweetness that completes this dish. I like to serve it over fresh arugula and pile on extra Balsamic Strawberries because why not!
