Improv Cooking Challenge is the brainchild of Nichole of Cookaholic Wife.  Each month Nichole gives us 2 ingredients and sets us loose to make the best recipe we can.

This dish was inspired by one that I found on Wholsomelicious.  Isn't that a great name!!  I grilled my chicken instead of pan frying, omitting the garlic in the dish.  But I kept all the ingredients for the topping, making short work of chopping the strawberries and basil by pulsing it a few times in the food processor.

I served this up at family dinner on a gorgeous Sunday out on the deck.  It was a huge success and was prepared without interfering with our family time.
