Ingredients

• 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

3. 3

   While the sauce is simmering, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

4. 4

   Pour the cornstarch slurry into the balsamic glaze and stir well. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly browned.

7. 7

   Pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken in the skillet, ensuring each breast is well coated.

8. 8

   Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and create a delicious crust. Spoon the glaze over the chicken occasionally.

9. 9

   Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
