I hate to admit but I am not a huge fan of chicken breast. I mean I eat it, sometimes like it but never really love it. I much prefer wings or legs. But with this honey balsamic marinade, I actually loved this meal! Balsamic vinegar truly does the magic here.

I served it with some grilled zucchini(my family's absolute favorite vegetable which you would see in almost every savory dish) and spaghetti with pesto which is a fantastic match for balsamic.

I am so glad I found this recipe, this made me realize I, a dark meat gal can actually love chicken breast. =)
