To make the glaze

In a small pot bring the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, water, pepper and salt to a slow simmer.

Simmer for a few minutes before thickening with a slurry made by mixing together the corn starch and ¼ cup water.

Add the slurry to the simmering pot, stirring constantly.

Simmer for only an additional minute before removing from the heat to cool slightly before using it to glaze the chicken.
-
If grilling your chicken, continuously brush the glaze onto the chicken in the last few minutes of cooking time.

Finish with a final brushing of glaze before serving.

If baking the chicken breasts, place them on a wire rack in a 375 degree F oven for up to 40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
