HONEY ROSEMARY CHICKEN

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
6 (about 7-oz) each bone-in skinless chicken breast halves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

In a bowl, combine honey, vinegar, rosemary and oil; mix well. Pour half the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag well and turn to coat all the chicken; refrigerate 2 hours. Place remaining marinade in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.

Drain chicken and discard the marinade from the bag. Place chicken, bone side down, in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until the juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the marinade during baking.
