     I cooked the chicken breasts in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes. They are much juicier that way and I could use spray olive oil for fewer calories. It takes a bit longer but there is much less actual time tending to cooking in the kitchen by cooking them in the oven. Then I made the glaze - 10/1/09

     Absolutely fantastic. :) I'm going to make this for LOTS of my friends/family. (lol). Since I didn't have any balsamic vinegar I used 1.5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce. It came out fabulous! I served mine over Long grain and Wild Rice (instant). :) - 8/8/09

     very simple and very good, the flavor combination is wonderful - I used fresh thyme and served it with white rice. Next time I'll double the glaze and make id more "saucy". - 7/23/09

     I loved it! I baked mine at 350 for about 25-30 minutes, but brushed some glaze on after 20 or so minutes. I also added Worcheshire sauce and a dash of red wine vinegar since it was a tad sweet for me. I loved it though. With the extra stuff, the glaze tasted like Jack Daniels Sauce from TGIF! - 4/13/10

     Recipe was great! Next time I would use less thyme though. 1 1/2 tsp was a whole lot for us. But still really really yummy. - 10/14/09

     This is so good. I think next time I will make more glaze than the recipe calls for though. - 3/5/09

     I also baked the chicken and the sauce was most excellent! I would make this one again. - 12/14/09
  • SUSANPEI
     This recipe is awesome!!! It was super easy, and delicious - the 2 things I was looking for! I made it exactly as written, and the only thing I'd change next time is to make a little more glaze. This is a supper I can pull together at the last minute, but isn't boring. Thank you for posting! - 3/10/12

     Just made this recipe tonight for the first time, and it was really good. I had it with white rice and mixed veggies. As a personal preference, though, I think next time I'll use a little more honey and a little less balsamic vinegar. - 10/21/09
  • BECKYQUIGLEY
     I used the left overs from this the next night by cutting the chicken into small pieces to put over wild rice. The whole family loved it! - 3/17/11
  • TERRAWEB
     This is a great recipe--easy and tasty. Also try using raspberry or cherry preserves in place of the honey. Even yummier, IMO! And you can also do the same thing with lean pork chops. (Can you tell this is a favorite of mine? lol) - 10/31/08

     AMAZING!
    I was stumped, wondering what to do with fresh chicken breast, and searched for a good recipe here.. and was very, very impressed. Couldn't be any simpler, and couldn't be any more scrumptious! My mom and I will both make it again, that's for sure! - 7/11/09
  • JAUDON
     LOVED this! So easy to make, too! My glaze hardened quickly, but otherwise it was perfect! - 6/29/09
  • SHERYE
     The chicken was amazing, I made extra glaze and served it over a rice dish. We loved the taste and plan on making it again once I'm able to entertain our friends and family - 5/12/20

     Made this last night, and will definitely be making again! This recipes was delicious, me and my(very picky) sweet hubby gobbled this up! The only thing we did different was I used evoo spray on my pan. Made it with a side of garlicky asparagus. Thanks for the great recipe! - 3/5/12
  • KANDIL
     Took other reviewers advice and baked it. We also drizzled a bit of the sauce over wild rice. We definitely make it again. - 3/8/11
