balsamic & honey glazed chicken

this recipe was originally for pork chops, but can easily be used on chicken or beef. it's super simple and can be served either hot or cold, making it a great option for picnics. it has a yummy sweet and tangy flavor, is super juicy, and is easily served with any type of vegetable. i chose corn because my nerd is ga-ga over it, and because it was on sale at our market, 10 for $1.00!!!
