A different take on a classic summer favorite – the caprese salad. Instead of the classic tomato and mozerella, this recipe utilizes strawberries for a sweet, fresh and delicious meal![br][br][cap id=”attachment_7177″ align=”alignleft” width=”200″][url href=”undefined”][img src=”https://vonthunfarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Strawberry-Balsamic-Chicken-2-200×300.jpg” width=”200″ height=”300″ class=” size-medium” title=”Strawberry-Balsamic-Chicken-2″][/url]Credit: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/strawberry-balsamic-chicken/[/cap]
