Directions

Prepare chicken:
1. Cut chicken breasts into regular cubes. Prepare grill for medium-high heat.
2. Whisk the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and add chicken cubes. Add chicken and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, then thread 5 or 6 chicken pieces onto each skewer.

The salsa:
1. Whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, lime juice, agave nectar, pepper to taste. Toss with strawberries and set aside.

The pesto:
1. Put all the ingredients in a blender and grind coarsely. Add olive oil to taste.

Grilling:

2. Grill chicken, turning and basting often with reduced marinade, until cooked through, 8–10 minutes.
3. Remove from grill and transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. Top with pesto and strawberries and serve immediately.
