Healthy 30 Minute Strawberry Jalapeño Chicken

This healthy 30 minute strawberry jalapeño chicken is the best easy and healthy summer meal. The chicken has a cilantro lime marinade and is topped with an easy strawberry jalapeno salsa. I have been dreaming up so many strawberry jalapeño dishes lately. Why? Because Trader Joe’s come out with some new strawberry jalapeño chips and it has me obsessed with that flavor combo! I feel like that always happens to me, I discover something new at Trader Joe’s and get inspired. Trying new food always gives me a lot of inspo which is a great excuse to always try new food haha.

Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa:

This strawberry jalapeño salsa is made with strawberries, jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and some spices. It’s so easy to make! I’m going to be using this salsa on recipes for the new few weeks because I feel like it will go so well with chips, on top of toast, on other protein sources too.
