How to Make Balsamic Honey Glazed Chicken Breasts

Preheat your George Foreman grill to high heat. Lightly brush the grill plates with olive oil or use nonstick cooking spray.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove chicken from grill and set aside. If necessary, grill in batches to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside, tenting with foil to keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey.
Pour the balsamic honey mixture into the skillet with the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Drizzle the balsamic honey glaze over the chicken breasts. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
