120 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
04 -
120 ml extra virgin olive oil
05 -
60 ml honey
06 -
1 tablespoon dried basil

60 g pecans
12 -
60 g Feta cheese
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, orange juice, olive oil, honey, and dried basil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the honey is fully dissolved for an even mixture.
02 -
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of approximately 1.25 cm for uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, press out excess air, seal, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
03 -
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest for several minutes.
04 -
While grilling the chicken, pour 120 ml balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Simmer gently over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by half and thickened to a glossy, syrupy consistency. Allow to cool slightly.
05 -
Carefully separate whole lettuce leaves, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and pat dry completely with a paper towel to preserve texture.
06 -
Slice grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces. Layer chicken, sliced strawberries, pecans, and Feta into each lettuce leaf. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and serve immediately while the chicken remains warm and the lettuce crisp.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
To maintain optimal lettuce freshness and crunch, wrap cleaned leaves in paper towels and store in a sealed plastic bag refrigerated until ready to fill.
