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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
