Preparation

In a frying pan, melt butter and brown shallot. Add strawberries and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add port while scraping pan with a wooden spatula, then cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste. Let strawberry mixture cool.

Preheat barbecue to medium.

Stuff each chicken breast with a slice of Canadian Havarti cheese and a quarter of the strawberry mixture. Secure with toothpicks.

Barbecue for 10 to 12 minutes on each side or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve with a salad or grilled vegetables.
