Ingredients

• 4  chicken breasts
• 1  cup  balsamic vinegar
• 1  tablespoon honey
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 2  tablespoons olive oil (infused with garlic)
• 2  tablespoons  herbes de provence
• 1  bunch asparagus

Directions

1. Get the glaze started --
2. * 1 cup quality balsamic vinegar.
3. * 1 T quality honey.
4. * 2 T butter.
5. Simmer balsamic vinegar until it has reduced by 2/3rds. Add honey, stir until thoroughly mixed. Then add butter, 1 T at a time, and mix until dissolved and velvety before adding the next tablespoon of butter.
6. While you are making the sauce. Grill the chicken and asparagus . I use a cast iron grill on my stove top. Could definitely use your outdoor grill too.
7. Spray chicken with a garlic olive oil and top with a sprinkle of Herbs de Provence on each piece. Grill until cooked thoroughly.
8. Grill the asparagus. Also spray with the garlic olive oil and sprinkle with Herbs de Provence. I also added a tiny bit of salt and pepper to both the chicken and the asparagus. This doesn't take long -- about 4-5 minutes.
9. To plate the dish --
10. Drizzle about a tablespoon of sauce on the plate. Top with chicken and asparagus. Drizzle the top the dish with extra sauce. Add cracked pepper.
11. Serves 4.
