Herb-Crusted Chicken and Strawberry Relish



4 large or 8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skin removed, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper plus a pinch, divided
2 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
1 teaspoon stevia, or to taste
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, or more to taste

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine chicken in a bowl with oil, oregano, 1 tablespoon chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place in a small-to-medium roasting pan.
Roast the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching bone registers 165°F, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs.
Meanwhile, combine strawberries, lime zest, stevia, vinegar, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons chives and the remaining pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature until the chicken is done.
Just before serving, taste the strawberry relish and adjust the amount of sugar, vinegar and/or salt. Serve the chicken with the relish.
