Steps

• Cut the chicken breasts into three even pieces.

• To the same pan, add the minced garlic and dried herbs.  Sweat garlic until soft, around 30 seconds on low heat.  If the pan is too dry add a little more olive oil
• Deglaze with chicken stock.
• Add the honey, mustard and balsamic vinegar, mix well leave to reduce on high heat.
• Once sauce has thickened but not too much, return the cooked chicken pieces, turn heat to low and leave to finish cooking in the sauce for approx. 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has turned into a nice glaze consistency.  (thicker pieces may need longer)
