Baked Chicken with Strawberry Avocado Salsa (Paleo, Whole30, AIP

Strawberry season is one of my absolute favorite parts of spring and summer! Strawberries are just starting to pop up here in Texas, and I can never resist digging when they first start arriving in April. The question is, how do you enjoy them in a fun, unique way? Sure, chocolate covered strawberries are great, and they’re perfect on salads, but having something different to mix it up is always appreciated. This baked chicken with strawberry salsa is the perfect way to add some flair to strawberry season!

This dish is amazing for an easy weeknight meal, or for wowing dinner guests at a gathering! It’s just not something you see every day, but it’s absolutely delicious. It’s paleo, AIP, and whole30 compliant, but no one would know otherwise.

Plus, this strawberry salsa is so yummy and versatile that you may just want to eat it by itself 😉

The Ingredients You Need for the Baked Chicken with Strawberry Avocado Salsa

Chicken breast

Chicken breast is what I used for this dish, but you can easily swap out chicken thigh, or even fish like salmon.

Strawberries

The star of the show here! You want to use the prettiest, freshest strawberries you can find for this dish as they take center stage. I used an organic, local variety, but go with what you have.. just make sure it’s tasty as that flavor carries the dish.

Avocado

A great pairing with the berries, and a source of healthy fat for a lower fat cut of meat.

Cilantro

This flavor pairs well with the freshness of the salsa.

Radishes

Radishes are one of my secret weapon ingredients for adding a nightshade free spice to dishes!

Lime

This is the acid in the dish that adds some

Avocado oil

This is for cooking the chicken and enhancing the flavor.
