Johnny D's Grilled Chicken with Strawberries

This recipe comes with a little story.

Johnny D — my dad — loved simple food on the grill. Nothing complicated. Just good ingredients, a little creativity, and something that made people say, “That’s really good… what’s in this?”

This grilled chicken recipe is one of those.

Tender chicken pieces marinated in Garlic Premium Olive Oil and Strawberry Dark Balsamic, then threaded onto skewers with sweet strawberries and grilled until everything gets lightly caramelized and juicy.

The strawberries soften and become almost jammy on the grill, while the balsamic adds depth and sweetness that pairs beautifully with the chicken.

And here’s the fun part — my dad would sometimes swap the strawberries for chunks of pineapple. Both versions are wonderful, so you can play with it depending on what you have on hand.

Serve these right off the grill with a drizzle of balsamic and watch them disappear.

Simple. Fun. A little nostalgic.
