    Roasted Strawberry Chicken

    We were in the throws of packing up our apartment when I got the sudden and insatiable urge to know what would happen if chicken were to be baked in strawberry jam.

    Perfect, I thought, I'll get rid of a partially-used jar of strawberry preserves AND make a delicious dinner. I am the best packer there ever was.

    Except we had zero strawberry jam in our fridge.

    So off I went to the store to get myself some jam, thwarting my packing plans but making my dinner dreams come true.

    The chicken that resulted was so unspeakably good - dare I say life-changing - that we used the remainder of the jar within the week.

    And then I debated whether I needed to get another jar to get us through the next 5 days.

    This roasted strawberry chicken is a weeknight winner because there is zero marinading - just mix jam and balsamic, pour over the chicken, and bake!

    The jam forms a sort of glaze on the chicken with a slightly sweet, roasted strawberry flavor and a little bit of bite from the balsamic. High flavor payoff for low effort investment. My favorite!
