BALSAMIC GLAZE
This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor.

Steps:
- Mix balsamic vinegar with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until glaze is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Glaze should coat the back of a spoon. Let cool and pour into a jar with a lid; store in refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. The flavor of the glaze will depend on the quality of the vinegar you use. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a thick, syrupy consistency.
- Reduce the balsamic vinegar before using it to make the glaze. This will concentrate the flavor and make it more intense. To reduce the vinegar, simply simmer it in a saucepan over low heat until it has reduced by about half.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the glaze. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, and black pepper.
- Do not overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very thin and can easily be overcooked. Cook them over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
- Serve the chicken immediately. Balsamic glaze is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Sweet balsamic glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The balsamic glaze is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
