Delicious, tender chicken breasts grilled to perfection and topped with a wonderful, fresh strawberry butter.
Camilla of Culinary Cam is hosting this week and invited us to join her saying:
May 20th is Pick Strawberries Day; May 21st is both Strawberries and Cream Day and Eat More Fruits and Veggies Day. So, let's celebrate the sweet, red fruit. If you want to do a fruits and veggies post instead, that's also fine.
The recipe that I'm sharing today is a regular during Strawberry season. I first shared this recipe in 2015. I was using a different recipe format at the time that no longer allows my readers to print it, so I am resharing it today in a printable format.
Let's see what the others have brought to the Strawberry Social.......

I always double the Strawberry Compound Butter to keep in my refrigerator. It is great as a topping for pancakes or waffles or schmeared on toast or a bagel in the morning.
