Balsamic BBQ Chicken

Balsamic BBQ Chicken Recipe

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can reduced sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
4 green onions

Wash and slice green onions, separating green tops from white bottoms. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Salt and pepper chicken to taste. Add chicken to skillet and brown chicken for 1-2 minutes per side to seal in flavor. Remove chicken and keep warm. Lower heat to medium low and allow skillet to cool slightly.

Add garlic and white parts of green onion to skillet and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and chicken broth and mix well. Increase heat to medium-high; add vinegar and honey and cook to boil. Reduce heat to low, return chicken to skillet, cover partially and simmer about 30 minutes or until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the center.
