6
Press plastic wrap on the surface of the chicken and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
7
(Obviously, the longer you can let your chicken marinate, the better.)
8
While your chicken is marinating, place all the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl.

Gently mix with a fork (you dont want to smoosh your strawberries), and season with salt to taste.
10
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat a clean, lightly oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
12
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and pat them dry.
13
Season both sides of each breast with kosher salt and coarse black pepper.

When the grill/grill pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and chicken is just cooked through.
