Many years ago, my husband and I were eating dinner at Macaroni Grill. My husband ordered Honey Balsamic Chicken w/ Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta...it was soooo good. So I decided when I got home to try and make this recipe. I wasn't sure what was in it or how to make it but I tried and it came out delicious!!

1/2 Cup Honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk and pour into a large plastic zip lock bag. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add chicken breast and marinade for at least an hour or up to over night. When ready to cook, wipe off excess marinade and grill 6-7 minutes per side until chicken is fully cooked. While grilling baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
