Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
• 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
4. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
5. While the chicken is resting, prepare the fruit salad. In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced pineapple, chopped pistachios, and fresh mint leaves. Toss gently to mix.
6. Slice the grilled chicken breasts and arrange them on a platter. Spoon the fruit salad over the chicken slices, allowing the juices to drizzle over them.
7. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios and mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
