Steps:
- Preheat an electric grill for high heat. When hot, brush the cooking surfaces with olive oil or use nonstick cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to grill and cook until lightly browned, in two batches, if necessary. Remove chicken from grill and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add the onions and garlic, and cook on low heat until wilted, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato puree and broth and bring to a boil.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Whisk together the vinegar and honey in a small bowl and pour into the pan, stirring. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This helps them cook evenly and reduces the cooking time.
- Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and makes it more tender.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This helps to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Balsamic honey glazed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
